Rewards are billed at face value. Prepay by ACH or wire has no fee, prepaying by card adds 3.5%, and Pay As You Go charges your card 5% plus $0.35 per reward; Monetary Options add 4%.
Who can use this: Workspace Owners and Admins on the Pro and Enterprise plans, or on any plan during the free trial. Works the same for Slack and Microsoft Teams workspaces.
For an overview of the whole feature, read the Rewards Guide.
Matter supports both billing methods so you can choose what works best for your finance and budgeting needs.
Prepay (Recommended)
Prepay lets you load funds into your Matter rewards account ahead of time. Rewards are automatically deducted from your balance as they’re approved.
Funding options
ACH or Wire Transfer
No fees for gift cards, donations, and prepaid cards (excludes monetary options)
Ideal for larger or recurring reward budgets
Credit Card
3.5% processing fee
$200 minimum load
Why use Prepay?
Avoid fees when using ACH or wire
Reduce credit card transactions
Simplify finance workflows with upfront funding
Pay-As-You-Go
Prefer to pay per reward instead of loading funds? Pay-As-You-Go charges your credit card each time a reward is approved.
Fees
Pay as you go by card: 5% + $0.35 per transaction.
Best for: Teams that want flexibility without managing a balance.
Why is there a fee?
A small processing fee is included to cover the actual costs associated with credit card transactions, including payment processing fees from card networks and fraud protection. These ensure we can continue to offer a seamless, secure, and global rewards experience, even without requiring a balance.
Matter is proud to offer the lowest processing fees in the industry.
To avoid fees, we recommend using Prepay via ACH or wire transfer.
Can I switch between options?
Yes. You can switch between Prepay and Pay-As-You-Go at any time in the web app under Settings, Rewards, Funding Method. See How the rewards prepay feature works (funding your rewards balance). If you need help, contact your Account Manager or email support@matterapp.com.
