TRANSPARENT PRICING

No Surprises. Ever.

Unlike the big processors, we explain exactly what you pay and why. Here's a breakdown of how merchant processing pricing actually works — and why ours is lower.

Interchange Fees

Set by Visa/Mastercard — the same for every processor. This portion is non-negotiable and identical regardless of who you use.

Industry Standard — Not Negotiable

Processor Markup

This is where the difference is. Most processors hide large markups in confusing tiered pricing. Merchant Hero uses a flat, transparent markup — always disclosed.

Our Advantage — Lowest Markup

Monthly Fees

PCI compliance, statement fees, gateway fees — we itemize every single one upfront. No phantom charges on your statement ever.

Zero Hidden Fees — Guaranteed
