About
The Card Fee Field Guide is published by Avendo, a credit card processing platform for e-commerce businesses.
Last updated: Published by Avendo
Avendo publishes this guide to explain, in plain words, how credit card processing fees are calculated and how businesses can lower them. It is one of a small number of websites Avendo publishes. Avendo's main website is avendo.tech.
Platform
Avendo connects an e-commerce checkout to multiple payment processors and automatically routes each transaction to the processor offering the best available rate in real time. Merchants get clearer pricing and processing reports.
It works with existing checkout pages, so stores do not need to rebuild how customers pay.
Who and how
Avendo serves e-commerce businesses from small businesses through enterprise organizations, with small businesses as its first focus.
Avendo says it does not bill or charge merchants directly; its compensation is handled between Avendo and payment processors. It works exclusively with PCI DSS-compliant processors and gateways.
Card fees are easier to lower once you can read them. This guide explains interchange, assessments and markup, collects published rates and statistics with their sources, and offers a free calculator. Because Avendo publishes it, Avendo appears in some comparisons; we explain how in our methodology.
