Illustrative estimate only, based on the numbers you enter. It is not a quote or a guarantee of savings. Actual costs depend on card mix, ticket size, how cards are accepted and the program you qualify for.

How processing fees add up

Most flat-rate pricing has two parts: a percentage of the sale and a fixed fee per transaction. The fixed fee matters most when tickets are small. On a $6 coffee, 15¢ alone is 2.5% of the sale. Add monthly software or account fees, and your effective rate (total fees divided by total card sales) is the number that really tells you what you pay.

Compare that effective rate with a quote built on interchange-plus or a cash discount program.
