How billing works

Small taps. One clean monthly charge.

Taps accumulate silently

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

No interruptions. No per-tap notifications. Your balance updates invisibly.

→

Charged when threshold is reached

When your accumulated balance reaches €2.00, Mollie processes a charge and your balance resets to zero. This may happen multiple times in a month for active users.

Balance ≥ €2.00

→ Charged via Mollie now → Balance resets to €0.00

Balance < €2.00

→ Continues accumulating → Charged at month end

Pre-authorisation at wallet setup means your payment method is always verified before a tap is logged.

→

One itemised statement

On the 1st of each month, any remaining balance is charged as a single transaction via Mollie. You receive a clear itemised statement — every tap, every site, every amount.

A €0.25 monthly processing fee applies to all accounts — Mollie's cost, passed through at cost. Charged once per month regardless of how many threshold charges occurred in that month. Waived entirely in any month where your total spend exceeds €5.00.

Payment is always processed by Mollie — a licensed European payment institution. Whimzit never holds your money.

Pricing

You pay us when your readers pay you.

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

Commission structure

The smaller the tap, the more you keep.

Our commission scales down as tap value increases.

Tap value	Commission	You keep	Example tap	Your payout
€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

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.

Disputed taps are held from your payout during investigation — typically resolved within 5 business days. Fraudulent dispute rates are significantly lower than standard card transactions because payment is pre-authorised at 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 the Whimzit merchant portal — 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.

Founder's Tier merchants pay 0% commission on their first €10,000 of processed tap revenue — 100% of every tap goes to you until that threshold. After €10,000 or 30 September 2026 (whichever comes first) standard tiered commission applies. Mollie's processing costs are not covered by the waiver.

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