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
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
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 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
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
