@josephsunny I'm curious how the money works out after Paypal/stripe get their cut. From what I've seen transactions run around 3% + $0.30. Operating in small amounts seems like the fees would sink any such effort. Have you found something that works to handle small payments without getting killed on fees for each transaction?


You're right, credit card processing fee can add up to a considerable amount while processing micropayments, and this was one of our biggest concerns when we started working on this. However, contrary to what we thought, more than half the payments processed are for more than one coffee.

BTW we're currently passing on the card processing fee to supporters.
