In all three cases the money goes to your account.
The three options
- Free, with a fee: no setup fee; we keep a 0.5% platform fee from every transaction, on top of the processor fee. Worth it at lower volume.
- No platform fee: you pay a one-off charge and there is no platform fee. Worth it at higher volume: above roughly €10,000 in card sales it costs less than the 0.5% fee.
- Connecting your own NETOPIA contract: you sign the contract with NETOPIA, and the paperwork and testing are yours; we connect it and take it live. This also has a one-off charge.
Why only one
A site runs one card payment path at a time, and the option you choose goes into the annex of your contract.
Switching later
In the portal, the Customer card payments step shows the three options and a calculator: enter your expected card sales for a year and it shows which option is cheaper. After I choose this we send a new version of the annex for signing; for a paid option the one-off charge is taken from your saved card, and if that fails you get a pro forma invoice.
Let us look at your site.
The quote form takes two minutes: package, add-ons, your company details. You see the price at once, and it commits you to nothing.
