What this is

Payment processing fees are one of the most under-examined costs in a small business. Most operators don't know their actual effective rate — total fees divided by total sales volume. If you've never calculated it, you're probably paying more than you need to.

Common Mistake

['Never calculating your actual effective rate (total fees ÷ total volume).', 'Accepting the first rate offered without negotiating.', 'Using flat-rate pricing above $10k/month in volume.']
