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.
