Frequently Asked Questions
How does payment processing work for eCommerce businesses?
For eCommerce businesses, payment processing begins when a customer enters their credit card or digital wallet information at checkout. This sensitive data is encrypted and sent through a secure payment gateway to Leap Payments. We then communicate with the merchant bank and the customer’s card issuer to authorize the transaction in real time. Once approved, the funds are settled and transferred into your merchant account. Leap Payments streamlines this entire process, offering high-speed, secure transactions and diverse payment options that minimize cart abandonment and ensure a seamless, trustworthy experience for your customers, allowing your online store to grow effortlessly.
What fees should eCommerce businesses expect?
eCommerce businesses typically encounter interchange fees, card network assessments, and processor markups. Many providers also add hidden “junk fees” like statement or compliance charges. At Leap Payments, we believe in transparency and fairness. We offer straightforward interchange-plus pricing, ensuring you pay the true cost of processing without unnecessary markups. Our goal is to eliminate the frustration of unexpected costs by providing clear, predictable rates tailored to your transaction volume, allowing you to focus on growing your online store.
The Overlooked Lever: Payment Processing Fees
Every dollar you save on overhead is easier to keep when your payment processor isn’t quietly taking 2.9%+ on every sale. For a business doing $50K monthly, that’s $17,400 a year gone — more than most businesses spend on several other major expenses combined. Switching to a processor with 1-2% rates makes an immediate difference. Add a cash discount program (3-4% off for cash/ACH payments) and you can free up $7K-$15K annually — money you can reinvest directly back into your business, your team, or your growth. The math is simple: lower processing fees mean more of every sale stays in your pocket. Most businesses that switch to Leap Payments see the difference within their first month.
Leap Payments helps businesses keep more of what they earn:
- 1-2% rates — often half of what you’re currently paying
- Cash discount program — legally shift card fees to customers who choose credit
- Same-day funding — cash in hand when you need it
- Free terminal & equipment* — for qualifying merchants
- 24-hour approvals — get set up fast, no long waits
One client saved $14K in the first year after switching.
