Most business owners don’t realize there are different ways your processing fees are calculated…
And the structure you’re on can be the difference between:
💸 Overpaying every month
or
💰 Keeping more of your money
Here’s the breakdown 👇
❌ Tiered Pricing
You’re grouped into buckets:
Qualified
Mid-Qualified
Non-Qualified
Sounds simple… but it’s not in your favor.
Most of your transactions get pushed into the higher tiers —
which means you’re often paying 3%–4.5%+ without realizing it.
✅ Structured Pricing (Interchange-Based)
This is where pricing is: ✔ Transparent
✔ Based on actual card cost
✔ Lower markup
👉 This is how businesses get closer to ~1.8% – 2.2% effective rates
⚠️ The Problem
Most businesses are placed on the wrong structure from day one…
and never revisit it.
So they keep overpaying — month after month.
💡 The good news?
You don’t need to change your entire system…
you just need to fix the structure behind it.
