Fee Schedule

Effective May 24, 2026

SWIM charges fees once, up front, transparently. No hidden costs. No fees at checkout.


You pay a processing fee when you purchase Drops — before you reach any offer. When you claim an offer, there are no additional charges.

Payment method Upfront fee Drops back at claim Net cost (digital)
Card (Visa/MC/Amex) — digital offer 2.9% + $0.30 1% drops back 1.9% + ~$0.15
Card (Visa/MC/Amex) — physical or service 2.9% + $0.30 None 2.9% + $0.30
ACH (bank transfer) — any offer 0.8%, max $5 None 0.8% or less

Digital offers: Card buyers earn 1% of their purchase back as Drops the moment they claim. These Drops go straight to your wallet.

Physical and service offers: Processing fee is paid upfront at drop purchase. No Drops back, no fees at checkout.

ACH (bank transfer): Connect your bank account in your profile settings for a lower processing fee. Recommended for purchases over $200.


Merchant fees vary by offer type.

Offer type Platform fee Additional Total
Digital 4% 1% (funds buyer drops rebate) 5%
Physical 4% 2% (mitigation reserve) 6%
Service 4% 2% (mitigation reserve) 6%

Digital (5%): The 1% processing share funds the 1% drops buyers earn back at claim.

Physical and service (6%): The 2% mitigation reserve funds SWIM’s dispute resolution pool for fulfillment-risk offers.

SWIM earns 4% only when a sale completes. Zero sales = zero platform revenue. Our incentive is your success.
