Start with the layers
An interchange-plus proposal generally separates underlying card-network-related costs from the provider’s stated markup. Actual statements can include additional assessments, authorization charges, gateway fees, monthly fees, and other items depending on the arrangement.
This is a category map, not a price quote or universal statement formula.
Use your own transaction mix
A useful comparison starts with the same time period, volume, transaction count, channels, card mix, refunds, and other activity. A single advertised percentage cannot represent all of those variables.
Statement review questions
- Which costs are pass-through, marked up, bundled, or estimated?
- Which per-transaction and monthly charges apply?
- Do online, keyed, recurring, and in-person transactions price differently?
- What contract, equipment, gateway, compliance, or support fees apply?
- How will the proposal be reconciled against the first live statements?
