Two approaches
- Flat fee
- Per-quote fee
Tell Bebop your desired fee rate and we apply it automatically to every quote under your API key. No code changes required - just agree on a rate and it takes effect immediately.
How it works
Choose your fee model
Either agree on a flat fee with Bebop, or add the
fee parameter to your quote requests for per-trade control.Trades settle with your fee included
The fee is deducted from the buy side of the trade - the taker receives slightly less of the buy token. The taker’s sell amount stays the same. For convenience, fees are converted to the chain’s native token.
Get paid
How you receive fees depends on the API. With the Aggregation API, fees are transferred directly to your wallet on-chain as part of each trade - no invoicing required. With the RFQ API, monitor your fee data via the Trade History API, reconcile monthly, and invoice Bebop.
Works across all trading APIs
The fee parameter is available on both the RFQ API and the Aggregation API, so you can monetize from day one. The fee collection mechanism differs between APIs - see the implementation guide for details.Practical considerations
Most integrators charge between 5 and 50 bps depending on their product and audience. Higher fees widen the quoted spread, which can make your pricing less competitive if your users compare across venues. Starting lower and adjusting based on volume data is a common approach.Implementation guide
