Payments is a margin business disguised as a software business. Processing rates converge; the durable differences are authorisation rates, coverage in the markets you actually sell into, and how much reconciliation work lands on your finance team.

Buyer's note

A 0.3% authorisation-rate difference outweighs a 0.1% pricing difference at almost any volume. Ask for market-specific auth rates before negotiating fees.
