How much does it cost?

Discount rate: 2.29% (Visa/MasterCard)

Per transaction fee: $0.20 (Twenty Cents)

LinkPoint Gateway: $12.00

Monthly Minimum: $15.00

* Explanation Monthly Minimum: This processing fee is collected by your transaction and discount rate fees from your credit card sales each month. So, for example, your monthly minimum is $15, if the transaction and discount rate fees collected by the processing company add up to and equal or go over $15 that month, no monthly minimum will be charged. However, if the fees for that month do not meet the $15 monthly minimum, you will then be charged the difference. You can avoid this fee in many cases by just processing around a thousand dollars per month.

Compatible shopping carts with LinkPoint:

To be blunt, If the shopping cart you choose is worth having, it probably already uses the LinkPoint payment gateway. That being said, here is one we recommend.

LinkPoint Cart

We can add this to your E-Commerce account after you apply online.

You may also use any other shopping cart provider if they are LinkPoint Compatable. Most of them are. Just ask.
