Thanks for this nugget of knowledge. Wasn't aware it was possible to negotiate the rate down unless you were a BigCo. 1.7% is impressive, that's the rate we had for our brick and mortar restaurant in the past. We're not doing micropayments. Each transaction is around $50-$200, with <5% margins. Volume is low 100ks. (Didn't mention this earlier because I didn't want to seem like I was getting my homework done by others, planned to research the general recommendations.)
