Who takes the rest? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] remon@ani.social 1 point 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children) I don't know what payment service was used here. It is only around 2-3% on my invoices. edit: Seems in the US a bunch of other stuff (like cost of running a website, insurance) can be included in the service fee. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] vxx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (1 child) 2-3% is insane.

It makes online payments super convenient. And with offline shopping it's the vendors that eat the fee, so also no downside for the consumer (though I tend to use the debit card for that). permalink fedilink source parent [–] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Which is the whole point.
