Pricing
Face value at standard rates, discounts at volume
Prepaid products are purchased at face value. Higher monthly volumes qualify for discounted rates.
Purchased at face value
A R100 top-up costs R100. Your customer receives the full amount they expect.
Discounted at high volumes
Resellers and platforms with higher throughput qualify for tiered discounts.
Wallet billing
Fund your Shwi wallet once and draw from it with each purchase. No hidden fees on standard transactions.
Volume discounts depend on your product mix and expected monthly throughput. Contact us for a quote based on your usage.

Flexible vouchers for resellers
Let customers buy a voucher without choosing a product upfront. They redeem it later for airtime, data, electricity, betting, and more.
