How billing works

Many small taps. One clean monthly charge.

Taps accumulate automatically

Every tap you make across any Whimzit partner site is recorded and added to your running Whimzit balance. Nothing is charged yet — you just keep tapping.

No interruptions. No per-tap notifications. Your balance updates automatically, always displayed on every tap you make, so you're in control.

→

Aggregated charge

When your accumulated balance reaches €5.00, a charge is processed and your Whimzit balance resets to zero. This may happen multiple times in a month for active users.

Balance ≥ €5.00

→ Charged immediately → Balance resets to €0.00

Balance < €5.00

→ Continues accumulating → Charged at month end

Pre-authorisation during wallet set-up ensures that your payment method is always verified.

→

One itemised bill

Each month, all your taps are charged, combined in one single payment. You receive a clear itemised statement — every tap, every site, every amount.

You pay us when your readers pay you.

Commission only. No monthly fees. No setup costs. No minimum volume. No contract term. Commission only.

Commission structure

The smaller the tap, the more you keep.

Our commission scales down as tap value increases.

€0.20–€0.50	12%	88%	€0.20 tap	€0.176
€0.51–€1.00	10%	90%	€0.75 tap	€0.675
€1.01–€2.00	8%	92%	€1.50 tap	€1.380
€2.01–€5.00	5%	95%	€3.00 tap	€2.850
> €5.00	Custom	Custom	Volume scaling	Contact us

Rates are not blended — a €0.20 tap is always 12%, a €3.00 tap is always 5%.

Frequently asked questions

Payouts processed on the 1st of each month for the previous month's taps. Payment arrives via SEPA transfer within 1-3 business days. Minimum accumulated balance of €10.00 required for first payout — balances below roll over. What if the balance never exceeds €10.00?

Disputed taps are held from your payout during investigation — typically resolved within 5 business days. Please note: Fraudulent dispute rates are significantly lower than standard card transactions because all payments are pre-authorised at user wallet creation.

No. Whimzit operates entirely alongside your existing subscription infrastructure. The SDK only activates for users without an active subscription — it automatically detects and defers to existing subscriber sessions.

Yes, completely. Configure tap prices in your Whimzit Business Configurator — per article, per content type, per session pass duration. Minimum €0.20, maximum €5.00. Prices update instantly, no code changes required.

Two lines of JavaScript. One initialisation call on page load, one tap call when a user hits your paywall. Whimzit handles wallet detection, authorisation, content unlocking confirmation, and webhook delivery. Most integrations complete within a single development session.

No. No minimum revenue, no minimum tap volume, no penalty for low activity. If your content generates zero taps in a month, you pay nothing and owe nothing. Whimzit only earns when you earn.

Euro only at launch. All tap prices, payouts and statements are in EUR. Multi-currency support is on the product roadmap.
