At the bottom they lay out the charges. All of us can do the arithmetic, but their example works out to 6.4% of a $20 sale!

And of course once you back out the overhead and direct costs of selling, the amount of your potential profit that eats up is some multiple of that.

They charge 2.9% + $0.30, and then 2%.

Stripe charges 2.9% + $0.30.

So they are approximately 65-70% (2/2.9 = 0.69) more expensive, depending on your average charge.
