Introduction
Using Nomupay's gateway will trigger a fee based on your usage. When you are setup for Nomupay acquiring then the applicable gateway fee is reported via the daily funding report, which you receive either via email or can download from Nomupay's Portal.
The gateway fee will be shown as one or more line items per day, and the line item(s) will indicate the usage that triggered the fee. You can reconcile the line item(s) in the funding report with your gateway usage by consulting the Transactions page in the Nomupay Portal.
Gateway fee line items
Your gateway usage is classified as events. The list of possible billable events are as follows:
| Event type short name | Description |
| three_d | 3D Secure |
| cp | Capture |
| db | Debit |
| dr | Deregister |
| ds | Deschedule |
| pa | Preauthorisation |
| rb | Rebill |
| rf | Refund |
| rg | Register |
| rr | Reregister |
| rs | Reschedule |
| rv | Reversal |
| sd | Schedule |
In your daily funding report you will see one or more line items per day. The line item(s) linked to gateway fees can be identified by the following fields:
- Transaction Type (transaction_type) =
NT_Fee - Gateway Fee Amount (gateway_fee_amount) = The gateway fee amount calculated based on the count of events
- Remarks (remarks) = The count of the events e.g.
gatewayfee for 100 three_d 100 db 2 rf
Reconcile gateway fees with gateway usage
To reconcile the count of gateway fee events in the funding report with your gateway usage we advise to take the following steps:
- Sum the counts of line item(s) per event type for a day or a period, and
- Compare the sum per event type with the transactions in the Portal for the same day or period.
It should be noted that a single transaction can have multiple events, which means the reconciliation must be done per event type.
As an example:
(1) Extract data from daily funding report:
Transaction Date (trxn_date) = 01/09/25
| remarks |
| gatewayfee for 100 three_d 100 db 2 rf |
| gatewayfee for 45 three_d 55 db 1 rf |
| gatewayfee for 5 db |
(2) Sum the line items per event type for the given day:
| Event type short name | Description | Sum |
| three_d | 3D Secure | 100 + 45 = 145 |
| db | Debit | 100 + 60 = 160 |
| rf | Refund | 2 + 1 = 3 |
(3) View the sums in the form of Total Transactions in Nomupay's Portal:
Go to the Transactions page and filter on 01/09/25
Filter on the event types
| Event type short name | Description | Click on the dropdown and choose | |
| three_d | 3D Secure | Choose 3DS | Yes |
| cp | Capture | Payment Type | CP (Capture) |
| db | Debit | Payment Type | DB (Debit) |
| dr | Deregister | Payment Type | DR (Deregister) |
| ds | Deschedule | Payment Type | (DS) Deschedule |
| pa | Preauthorisation | Payment Type | (PA) Preauthorisation |
| rb | Rebill | Payment Type | (RB) Rebill |
| rf | Refund | Payment Type | (RF) Refund |
| rg | Register | Payment Type | (RG) Register |
| rr | Reregister | Payment Type | (RR) Reregister |
| rs | Reschedule | Payment Type | (RS) Reschedule |
| rv | Reversal | Payment Type | (RV) Reversal |
| sd | Schedule | Payment Type | (SD) Schedule |

Note there can be smaller discrepancies due to time zone differences between Nomupay Gateway and the user logging into the Portal.
Future enhancements
Note that we plan to improve the customer experience when it comes to gateway event billing in the upcoming period. The planned changes will include:
A change of the Transaction Type (transaction_type) from
NT_FeetoGateway_Events,Ensure that only one line item will be reported per day, and
Ease the reconciliation of gateway fees with gateway usage.
We we keep this article up to date to reflect the roll-out of the upcoming enhancements.
