# Monetization

## Overview

Connect enables you to monetize your users' activity in a variety of ways with monetization settings–you are able to define which products your charge your users for and how they are charged. For example:

* Trading Fee Rates: Set a fee rate for all end users or set a particular end user to a unique fee rate
* OTC Trading: Adjust the spread on quotes your end users receive

When you create monetization settings, sFOX will automatically charge the end user when they perform a transaction and store the corresponding fee. Accrued fees will be automatically credited to your sFOX account daily and your will receive a report.

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.sfox.com/connect/rest-api/monetization.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
