Good point, but for me right now this is a more useful question. 2-3% is incorrect - it's 2-3% + $.30 a transaction. Keep that in mind - for anything under $30 the $.30 is a bigger deal than the 2-3%, anything over $200 the $.30 has la

Pure SaaS I've found is the market least effected by the fees - thanks so much for the feedback! So it seems like you have a 4-8% effect on your margins? (3-5% of 60-90%)

Feb 24th we're coming out with a way to make payments at $.18 a payment (no fees under $2) in under 30 seconds without making a new account. I hope everyone reads this article and keeps it in mind when we launch!

We love what Apple did for the industry, we love using their products, we have varying levels of problems with them as a company. Some are very high, some are low, but that's unrelated to what you're perceiving, which is a love of
