# Transparent Pricing

**💡 Simple, Predictable, Fair**

AstraPay is built on a **transparent pricing model** that ensures you always know what you’re paying — with no surprises.

There are:

* ❌ No monthly subscriptions
* ❌ No setup fees
* ❌ No hidden charges

You only pay a small transaction fee based on your **annual volume tier**

#### 📊 Fee Structure Overview

* **Percentage fee**: Based on your current tier (from 2.5% to 0.5%)
* **Flat fee**: $0.30 per transaction (only applies to transactions over $100)
* **Gas fees**: Paid by the merchant at the time of the transaction

> <mark style="color:green;">**🔁 Fees are automatically calculated and deducted during each payment. No manual handling required.**</mark>

#### 🎁 Lower Fees Through Rewards

As you scale your volume, you:

* **Move to lower fee tiers**
* **Earn $ASTRA cashback**
* Can **burn $ASTRA** to bring fees to 0% during custom campaigns

Your dashboard always displays your **current tier**, **next milestone**, and **real-time fees** — so you're never left guessing.
