Patreon uses Stripe and Paypal. Both of their fees are 30¢ + 2.9% regardless of interchange fee for a specific card. Not sure where they got the extra 5¢, but it seems reasonable to charge what their paying.
- tasty_freeze 9y agoThe difference is that Patreon withdraws money from me once a month -- that is a single transaction. Yes, I'm OK with them covering the actual cost of the Stripe/Paypal fee. But for them to charge me $3.50 because there are theoretically 10 charges (when there is actually one aggregate charge) is in no way fair.
