I like the site and think its helpful.
I have to say it isn't for my case though. I'm using Paypal's website payments pro for my current app, and that comes with a monthly fee not factored here.
Also when I looked at using a real merchant account, these fees vary greatly and no one I was looking at was as cheap as 1.8. All the merchants I looked at were more expensive than Paypal percentage wise. I also feel like this doesn't account for some batch fees I saw.
Not to mention that many times with merchant accounts you are paying a merchant fee and a gateway fee.
- runako 16y agoI think the point of the calculator is to get you to request a quote for another merchant provider from FeeFighters if your rates aren't as low as those in the calculator.
- pitdesi 16y agoCheck out the gear thingy under the total volume slider that says "More options? We have some, try the comparison with Paypal Pro..." ;) Apparently, when you were looking for a merchant account, you weren't using FeeFighters to bid down your fees ;) or you would've gotten a better rate. Try us out!

- pitdesi 16y agoSadly, it would be really hard to do this around the world, as each country has it's own completely different setups when it comes to credit card processing. It seems like you're in China, which would be a really hard market for us to enter. We are expanding though, and will be in Canada in the very near future.
- trevelyan 16y agoWe're actually BVI, although I'm Canadian. Looking forward.
- sammcd 16y agoLooks like I kinda missed the point. Although I'm not planning on leaving paypal any time soon. Their fees are just simple. Merchant Accounts have so many different fees you have to keep track of, and on top of that you have gateway fees.
