What is interchange plus pricing?

It’s simple: we combine the wholesale transaction cost (interchange rate) with a set margin, passing the savings directly to you. This transparent approach often results in lower processing costs for merchants, as you only pay for what you use plus a small, consistent percentage markup.

How does it compare?

Unlike flat rate pricing models that charge a fixed fee regardless of the actual transaction cost, interchange plus ensures you only pay for what you use – plus a small, consistent markup.
