What’s different
about Pixxles pricing?
If you are shopping around for payment services, flat rate (also known as blended) fees might seem easy to understand. But look closer and you’ll see how they can be more expensive. Spend just a couple of minutes to learn about Interchange Pass Through (Interchange++) and how we could help reduce your costs for accepting payments.
Why Interchange++?
Interchange++ pricing is usually reserved for big companies that demand transparent fees and the lowest costs. We believe that every merchant deserves the same transparency and savings.
- Pay only the interchange fee, plus the Card Scheme fee, plus Pixxles’ processor fee
- See exactly what you are being charged for all three fees, so no extras can be hidden.
- Savings are passed directly on to you automatically, every time.
Interchange++ vs Blended
What’s the difference?
Let’s start with a quick summary of the types of fees involved in payment acceptance. The amount you pay is based on three things:
What fees do merchants pay?
Processing fees
Charged by your payment processor for providing you with their services.
Interchange fees
An exchange rate paid from your merchant account to your customer’s bank.
Card scheme fees
A fee charged by schemes (VISA, Mastercard, etc.) for processing transactions.
Here’s the important point. Interchange fees vary depending on the type of transaction, your Merchant Category Code and type of card used by your customers.
Choosing a flat or blended price plan means any Interchange savings are kept by your payment processor – and your fees don’t reduce as your volumes increase.
Blended
What’s wrong with blended?
A blended transaction fee might look simple but can be needlessly expensive
1 flat rate for merchants
Your payment processor charges more for their fees when interchange fees are lower to maintain a flat rate.
1 combined fee visible to merchants
You will only see the total combined fee that they are being charged for transactions.
Interchange++
Why is interchange++ better?
Fees can fluctuate but you will pay lower processing fees in quieter periods.
Lower fees when possible
Your payment processor will not mark up the difference when the interchange fees are lower.
All fees are visible to merchants
You can see exactly what fees you are paying and why.
Lower fees
As you grow
Pixxles gives every merchant the same privileges as the big guys.
That’s why we will automatically apply discounted rates when your transaction volumes increase.
Choosing Pixxles is just the start. We want to keep your business and see it grow. By you keeping the cost of payments down with
Interchange++ and reducing costs further with volume discounts, Pixxles is designed to help your business succeed.
