In reply to Jonathan. Hi Jonathan, Thanks so much for your comment. When it comes to fees, you will want to be sure you are balancing fees with the actual services provided. For instance, working with a full-service ecommerce or subscription commerce solution could free your team from taking credit card information over the phone. Better than saving on costs with your employee time, taking credit card details only through a secured online portal also reduces the risk of a data breach, and helps keep your business free of fines or the damage to your reputation a breach could spark. Check out this post from cleverbridge's compliance manager, Daniela Hagen and let us know what you think.

Thanks for posting this I needed to refresh these different ideas in my mind again. We currently have Paypal hooked up to our checkout page. The other option is for a customer to give a CC over the phone, which always takes longer and ties up an employee. For some reason a few customers still think you need to have a Paypal account to process payment. Do you happen to know any other companies that might have lower fees?…Thanks

Well damn, this was a really great 101. I know all about this stuff now, but I really could’ve used this a couple years ago. Payment processing seems basic now but when you don’t know anything about it, it can really seem super confusing!
