The Industry's Dirty Secret

The "Flat Rate" Trap

The industry has done a great job making pricing feel confusing and "standard." That usually works in the processor's favor—not yours.

What They Advertise

2.9%

+ $0.15 per transaction

What You Actually Pay

4.0%

Your real "effective rate"

Here's What They Don't Tell You

That attractive 2.9% + $0.15 "flat rate"? It's a marketing number. When you factor in rewards cards, business cards, keyed-in transactions, and different card types, your effective rate often balloons to 4% or more. Most business owners never see this because it's buried in confusing statements.

Why Does My Effective Rate Spike Above the Advertised Rate?

Understanding this is key to taking control of your payment costs.

1Different Card Types Have Different Costs

Not all cards cost the same to process. A basic debit card might cost 0.5%, while a rewards credit card could cost 2.5% or more. Corporate and business cards often cost even higher. When your processor quotes "2.9%," that's typically the rate for the cheapest card type—not the premium cards your customers actually use.

Example Card Costs

Basic Debit:0.5% - 1.0%
Standard Credit:1.5% - 2.0%
Rewards Credit:2.0% - 2.5%
Corporate/Business:2.5% - 3.5%+

2Hidden Fees Add Up Quickly

Beyond the percentage rate, processors often add surprise rate increases, monthly service fees, PCI compliance fees, batch fees, and statement fees. These aren't included in the "advertised rate" but they're definitely included in what you pay—and they compound over time.

Common Hidden Fees

Surprise rate increases:0.5% - 1.5% annually
Monthly service fee:$10 - $50
PCI compliance fee:$10 - $30/mo
Batch/statement fees:$5 - $25/mo

The Bottom Line

Your "effective rate" is what you actually pay when you divide your total processing fees by your total sales volume. This number is almost always higher than the advertised rate—sometimes significantly. The only way to know your true cost is to calculate it from your actual statements, which is exactly what we do in our free audit.

Transparent Pricing Options

Choose Your Pricing Model

We help you find the right structure for your business. Here's exactly what each option looks like.

Dual Pricing

Best for: Maximum savings

Both debit and credit card fees are passed on to the customer through displayed cash and card prices.

Example: $100 Sale

Customer pays (card):$103.5
You receive:$100

Customer sees both prices at checkout

Surcharge

Best for: Near-zero credit costs

The merchant takes ownership of debit card fees while credit card customers pay a 3% surcharge.

Example: $100 Sale

Credit card → You receive:$100
Debit card → You receive:$98.5

3% added to credit only

Interchange Plus

Best for: High-volume businesses

You pay the true interchange cost set by card networks plus a small, fixed markup. Full transparency with the lowest long-term cost.

Example: $100 Sale

Rate:Interchange + 0.3%
You receive:$97.8
