Ask HN: A feasible way to collect dollar payment?

4 points by udayrddy ↗ HN
I run https://extracttable.com for which I charge 0.0145$/credit. The motivation behind is making it easier to extract tabular data from images, AND not needing to pay for what you do not use.

I want my users to buy credits as little as possible AND service usage charged per transaction(1 transaction @ 0.0145$ != 14.5$ of 1000 transactions). Currently, I'm asking my users to buy a minimum of 100 credits (https://extracttable.com/#pricing) costs 1.45$ - after PG(PayPal) processing I receive a mere 62% of what user paid.

Do I have any recommendations from the community on improving the situation matching my with requirements.

TIA

Depending on your credit card flow look into flat-rate fee credit card processing.

Well almost all Payment Gateways charge the same in that aspect, and thus I end-up 62%.

A chance of syndicate transaction processing ? Like do not charge until the balance accumulate to 100$ and charge all at once?

OR

Something like Venmo for Business but with no transaction fee (like 0$ Venmo User transfer)
