Credit card fees depend on card used
-
Credit card fees are dependent on the card used by your client.
-
This means the cost of the transaction is not known until after the card has been charged.
-
Typically, cards with high reward programs come with higher fees, while basic cards come with lower fees.
-
Paynode passes down the costs of every credit card transaction, so Paynode members can have the lowest costs possible.
