Can I do more?
Acquire payments online.
Transaction heavy business with low basket volume can use online payment (e.g. PayPal,
Credit Card, SEPA Debit) to reduce the cost to ~0,05€ per transaction + payment fees.

PayPal* SEPA* CC*
Variable 1,90% 0% 1,40%
Fixed 0,35 € 0,35 € 0,25 €

25 € 0,83 € 0,35 € 0,60 €

100 € 2,25 € 0,35 € 1,65 €
150 € 3,20 € 0,35 € 2,35 €
→ Up to based sizes of ~100€ pre-order online payment will always be cheaper than pay by invoice.
*Public OTC prices, this analysis does not account for payment defaults, SEPA charge backs, CC fraud and many other factors.
