One simple fee

We charge a simple, flat transaction fee of 2.7% when you swipe a credit or debit card through our card reader. If you don't have the buyer's credit or debit card with you, you can still complete the transaction by manually entering their card information, but that will cost you a bit more, 3.5% plus $0.15 per transaction.
