    The short answer

    Merchant services advisory audits card processing cost and structure. Most businesses are on bundled or tiered pricing that hides margin; moving to interchange-plus, correcting downgrade causes and right-sizing hardware typically reduces effective rate without changing the customer experience.

    Frequently asked questions

    How much can processing costs realistically drop?
    Savings usually come from the markup layer, not interchange itself. Moving from tiered to interchange-plus and fixing downgrades commonly reduces effective rate by 0.25 to 0.75 percent of volume.
    What is interchange-plus pricing?
    Interchange-plus passes the card network cost straight through and adds a stated processor markup. It is the only structure where you can see exactly what the processor earns, which is why we recommend it.
    Does switching processors disrupt operations?
    A planned migration takes a few days and is usually limited to terminal or gateway reconfiguration. Recurring billing and integrated point-of-sale need sequencing, which we map before any change.
