Payments

Helix offers gas less split payments which greatly reduces the user friction. Our Payment API is designed to be used for one off payments with support for marketplace, and creator royalty fees.

• Gas is paid by Helix and charged to the customer (see pricing)

• Helix can split the payment between a seller & merchant with royalty fees set.

Pricing

A gas price premium is added to each blockchain operation by Helix.

• Processing fee (Total fee x 1.4% + 20 cents) charged in USDC.

• Gas fee + 20% charged in USDC.
