A merchant’s profitability is determined largely by the costs of doing business, and one of the most common costs merchants in the digital age run into is the fees associated with processing card payments. Many merchants just assume that all payment processors and all fee structures are alike, but that couldn’t be more untrue. Merchant services providers use a variety of pricing models, the most common of which is the fixed-fee structure used by major third-party providers like PayPal. But that pricing model is actually extremely wasteful for all but a small subset of merchants, and the majority of businesses will bleed profits unnecessarily by utilizing it.
