What you actually pay
The monthly membership is one part of your processing cost. Every plan also has a per-transaction charge and passes through the underlying costs of accepting the payment.
01
Monthly membership
A recurring fee for the plan you choose. Published Basic and Pro plans start at $99 and $189 per month.
02
Per-transaction charge
Basic adds 8¢ per transaction. Pro adds 6¢ per transaction. These charges are additional to the monthly membership.
03
Underlying payment costs
Interchange and applicable card-network costs are passed through. No percentage markup does not mean zero processing cost.
Equipment: terminal rental is additional where needed. Ask us to include your equipment needs in the quote.

Is Membership right for your business?
Membership is an alternative for Canadian merchants who prefer a monthly fee instead of a percentage markup. The right choice depends on the total cost for your business.
What to compare
Compare your monthly card sales and transaction count, plus the cards customers use and your equipment needs. A fixed membership fee stays part of the cost even in a quieter month.
A statement review can help compare Membership with Cost Plus using your actual fees and transaction pattern. We’ll help you make the choice with a clear picture of the costs.
Prefer published percentage tiers?
Cost Plus adds a percentage markup and per-transaction charge to the same kind of underlying payment costs. Its published markup decreases as annual card sales grow.
Compare Cost Plus RatesMembership pricing questions
What is Membership payment processing?
It is a subscription-style pricing model: pay a monthly membership, a fixed per-transaction charge and the underlying payment costs, rather than a Clearly Payments percentage markup.
What is interchange?
Interchange is a payment cost associated with card transactions, generally paid to the card-issuing bank. It varies by card and transaction. Membership does not remove interchange or applicable network costs. Explore Canadian interchange rates.
Will Membership save my business money?
Membership puts wholesale buying power to work for your business, with no Clearly percentage markup on your sales. As you process more, that avoids a growing percentage-based processor charge. Send your statement and we’ll show how Membership compares with your current costs and Cost Plus.
What about payment terminals and equipment?
Clearly Payments offers terminals for rent. Our team can help select the appropriate terminal or payment equipment and include the rental cost in your quote. Explore payment terminals.
Do I still need PCI compliance?
Clearly provides managed PCI compliance support, including help completing required validation. Basic and Pro include this support with no separate PCI fee, helping keep compliance administration off your team’s desk. Your business still follows the security practices relevant to its payment environment. Read about PCI compliance.
