Stripe
$2.75
Estimated processing cost on a $100 card-present sale.
Lubao-Payroc Interchange+
$2.45
Illustrative Interchange+ cost. Exact cost depends on card type and approved pricing.
Lubao-Payroc RewardPay
$0.00
Credit sale example: eligible surcharge is paid by the credit-card customer; debit is handled differently.
Lubao-Payroc ConsumerChoice
$0.00
Card/cash pricing structure is designed so the advertised prices account for payment acceptance cost.
Flat-rate is simple. Square and Stripe are easy to understand, but the cost usually rises directly with every card dollar processed.
Interchange+ is transparent. The merchant pays the true card costs plus a disclosed markup.
Choice programs change the math. RewardPay and ConsumerChoice are designed to reduce how much processing cost the merchant absorbs.
