Swap API enables your users to easily and conveniently trade tokens at the best prices directly in your app. With one simple integration, 0x unlocks thousands of tokens on the most popular blockchains and aggregated liquidity from 100+ AMMs and professional market makers.
In this guide, we will highlight the primary monetization option available through Swap API - collecting affiliate fees. We will also discuss pricing considerations and show code samples and a demo app for how to easily implement this option.
How to monetize trades
Swap API offers monetization options out-of-the-box.
Affiliate fees
Swap API integrators have the ability to collect an affiliate fee on all trades made through their app.
Pro tip: We recommend setting the fee in a way that strengthens your bottom line while aligning it with the value you provide to customers. Note that the addition of an affiliate fee will impact the price for the end user, so try finding a fee structure where pricing remains competitive while still generating revenue.
Setting up an affiliate fee is easy. Just include the following two parameters when making a Swap API request:
- feeRecipient - The ETH address that should receive affiliate fees
- buyTokenPercentageFee - The percentage of the buyAmount (tokens received by the user) that should be attributed to feeRecipient (your wallet) as affiliate fees. Denoted as a decimal between 0 - 1.0 where 1.0 represents 100%.
When the transaction has gone through, the fee amount will be sent to the feeRecipient address you've set. The fee is received in the buyToken (the token that the user will receive).
