Why App-Based Processors Like Square, Toast and Stripe Can Cost You More

If you're a small business owner using Stripe, Square, Toast, PayPal, Venmo or Cash App to process payments, it's worth taking a hard look at what those platforms really cost you. They're easy to sign up for, but they take a percentage of every sale, and that adds up.

What to Check on Your Current Processor

Pull up a recent statement or your processor's pricing page and look for:

  • The percentage and per-transaction fee on in-person and online sales.
  • Monthly software or subscription fees on top of processing.
  • What hardware costs beyond the basic reader.
  • Whether the platform supports a cash discount program.
  • Who you reach when something goes wrong, and how quickly.
  • How fast funds reach your account, and whether faster payouts cost extra.

What You’re Really Paying For

Flat-rate platforms are built for scale. Their pricing is the same for everyone, so a small business pays the full rate on every swipe, tap and online checkout.

The PaybotX and Payarc Advantage

0% Processing with Cash Discounting

Under a cash discount program, the posted price is the card price and customers who pay with cash receive a discount at checkout. The difference offsets your processing costs. It has to be set up correctly, with the required signage and card-brand rules described on our cash discount page.

Next-Day Funding

No more waiting or paying extra for instant payouts.

Local, Hands-On Support

Real support from a Colorado Springs partner who knows your business.

ISO-Priced Hardware

Modern terminals at wholesale, not retail, pricing.

Custom Pricing for Volume

Unlike the big apps, PaybotX and Payarc offer flexible, negotiated rates for traditional processing too.
