Pick and choose what card types you want to accept to suit your business: Visa/Mastercard, Discover, and or American Express.
- Low $0.25 transaction fee
- Incredibly Low $10 monthly minimum. Most Merchant Service Provider's charge a
flat monthly fee of $25 to $35 PLUS processing fees!
What is a minimum monthly fee? A monthly minimum means that you need to generate a minimum of $10 per
month in processing fees. For example, if you generate $10.50 in processing fees, your monthly minimum is covered.
If you only generate $8.50 in processing fees, your monthly minimum fee is not covered and will therefore be $10.
Generally, if you process $400 in credit card transactions, you will generate at least $10 in processing fees so you
won't have to pay the minimum monthly fee at all! Compare this to other merchant service providers who charge a
standard monthly fee regardless of how much processing activity you generate!
