Interchange is a small fee paid by a merchant's acquirer to a cardholder's bank (issuer) to compensate the issuer for the benefits merchants receive when they accept electronic payments.

At Cashflows we price using an Interchange Plus Plus fee structure. Interchange Plus Plus pricing works by adding a constant, flat margin on top of Interchange and Scheme Fees. So typically, Interchange Plus Plus pricing will also be written in the three component format, with a percentage fee and per-transaction fee above Interchange and Scheme Fees. This allows us to provide a clear pricing plan that displays the margin we charge and how it remains consistent when you process different types of cards and transactions.

In this example, lets take a £100 sale where the customer is paying with a Visa Debit Card, they have securely authenticated themselves and their card is issued from the same country as yourself.
