Ash HN: Best Micropayment Processor?

I want to work on a project that allows for easily sharing paywalled links for the price of $1. It seems Stripe will take 30 cents (plus transaction fees) on every dollar processed, and PayPal will take 49 cents, for credit card payments. Are there any cheaper alternatives out there?

I considered a workaround to use the Venmo API because it seems they only charge 3% for credit card processing. But are there any significant cons I should be aware of before building a SaaS on top of Venmo to facilitate high volumes of $1 payments?
