# Fees

In order to ensure smooth operation of our services and transaction flow across blockchain and payment networks, we need to collect and pay fees. These include but are not limited to gas fees on blockchains, off-ramping fees and banking partner fees. Some of these fees are included in our monthly operations fees, however some of them are collected on a per-transaction basis and are subject to fluctuation due to various factors. You may choose to relay those fees entirely onto the customer, or sponsor certain fees. You may also choose to add your own monetisation stream by collecting transaction fees from your customers.

Every transaction contains a set of collected fees which are included as part of total settled amount. A fee object can be either of three types:

* `partner` - a fee collected based on your monetisation settings
* `service` - a fee paid to our service partners in order to facilitate the transaction. This may include any off-ramping or banking fees
* `network` - a gas fee collected by the blockchain to process all related transactions
