No locked-in contracts. No cancellation fee.

Two models. One transparent approach.

Both models pass through the underlying payment costs. The practical difference is how you pay Clearly Payments for processing.

PRIMARY PRICING OPTION

Cost Plus pricing

Interchange-plus pricing with a published percentage markup and per-transaction charge. Your markup decreases as your annual card sales grow.

Underlying costs + percentage markup + per-transaction charge

A clear starting point for merchants who want published volume tiers and a visible processing markup.

ALTERNATIVE FOR CANADIAN BUSINESSES

Membership pricing

Pay a monthly membership fee and a fixed per-transaction charge, plus the underlying payment costs. Clearly Payments adds no percentage markup.

Underlying costs + monthly membership + per-transaction charge

Explore this model if you prefer a membership fee instead of a percentage markup. Plans start at $99/month, plus transaction charges and direct costs.

Explore Membership

Look at the complete cost of accepting payments.

A headline rate or monthly fee is only one part of the picture. We’ll help you compare the full cost for the way your business accepts payments.

Underlying payment costs

Interchange and other card-network costs are passed through. These vary with the cards your customers use and how payments are accepted.

Clearly Payments charges

Cost Plus uses a percentage markup and a transaction charge. Membership replaces the percentage markup with a monthly fee, while retaining a transaction charge.

Your payment setup

Equipment needs also matter. If you need a rented terminal or another payment setup, include that cost in the comparison.

Understand your effective processing rate.

Find the right fit before you switch.

Your card sales, transaction count and payment setup help determine the right fit. We can compare both models using the way your business accepts payments.

Payment processing pricing questions

What’s the difference between Cost Plus and Membership?

Cost Plus adds a published percentage markup and per-transaction charge to underlying payment costs. Membership uses a monthly fee and per-transaction charge instead of a percentage markup. Both models still include underlying payment costs.

Does Membership mean I only pay the monthly fee?

No. You also pay the plan’s per-transaction charge and underlying payment costs. Terminal rental is additional where needed. Review Membership pricing for the published plan details.

Which pricing model will cost me less?

Your sales, transaction count, card mix and payment setup affect the comparison. Request a quote so we can review your current costs and help you choose the right model.
