For medium-sized retailers, understanding how card network fees work is crucial for managing payment processing costs. When a customer makes a payment using a card, various fees are applied at different stages of the transaction. These fees are typically shared between the card network (like Visa or Mastercard), the issuing bank (the customer’s bank), and the acquiring bank (the retailer’s bank). The three most common types of fees are interchange fees, assessment fees, and merchant service fees, each of which can add up, impacting a retailer’s bottom line.

MYPOS Connect integrates with Adyen for platforms, a leading payment system, that offers a simplified fee structure that helps businesses navigate these costs. We charge a fixed processing fee along with a percentage of the transaction amount, which varies depending on the card network used and the region where the transaction takes place. By providing transparency in the pricing, we allow retailers to better forecast their payment processing costs and avoid unexpected charges. This can be particularly beneficial for businesses operating across multiple regions, as Adyen’s omni-channel approach ensures consistent fees for both in-store and online transactions.

Emerging technologies like Click2Pay or one-click checkout solutions also influence card network fees. These methods are designed to simplify the payment process for consumers, but they can also reduce transaction times, which indirectly helps cut costs for retailers. With these technologies, customers can complete purchases faster, leading to fewer abandoned carts and more completed transactions. This streamlined process ultimately benefits retailers, allowing them to maximize their revenue while minimizing the costs associated with lengthy transactions.

For retailers looking to optimize their payment systems and save on processing fees, MYPOS Connect offers a smart solution. MYPOS Connect provides seamless integration with card networks, offering retailers the benefit of consistent fees across various platforms. By leveraging integrated payment systems, businesses can reduce the complexity of managing payments and focus on cost-saving strategies.
