How our pricing works
We use interchange-plus pricing: you pay the card networks’ wholesale cost, plus one small markup you can see on every statement. That’s the whole model.
What actually happens when a card is charged
Interchange is the wholesale fee set by Visa, Mastercard, and the card-issuing banks — the same for every processor. The only part a processor controls is the markup on top. We keep ours small, fixed, and printed on your statement.
Interchange — set by Visa, Mastercard, and the issuing banks. Identical for every processor; nobody gets a better deal on this part. We pass it through at cost.
Small and fixed — never buried in a blended rate. It's the only part of your cost we control, so it's the only line we ask you to judge us on.
Deposited to your bank account the next business day, with every fee reconciled on a statement you can actually read.
Your exact numbers depend on your card mix — that’s why we quote from a real statement, not a rate card.
What you’ll never pay
These are the fees that quietly inflate an effective rate at other processors. At Bittsi Pay, every one of them is zero.

The three ways processors price — compared honestly
Each model can be right for someone. Flat rate is simplest at very low volume; above roughly $20k/month, transparency usually wins.
Flat rate
One blended percentage on every card, whatever it actually costs to process.
Best under ~$5k/month in card volume.
Tiered
Transactions sorted into "qualified," "mid-" and "non-qualified" buckets, each with its own rate.
Rarely the right answer for anyone.
Interchange-plus
The card networks' wholesale cost, passed through at cost, plus one fixed markup you can see.
Best at $20k+/month, where transparency compounds.
