In response to a question we get very frequently from FeeFighters users, “Which is better, PayPal or a merchant account?” FeeFighters has launched the PayPal Upgrade Calculator, a tool which lets business owners quickly and easily see which option is more cost effective. There’s no signup or lead generation form; merchants can see which option is better for their business clearly and in a matter of seconds.
Below is a screenshot showing the calculator which displays PayPal vs. merchant account fees side by side for easy comparison.
The PayPal Upgrade Calculator works by looking at the main drivers of fees – average transaction size and the monthly volume of the merchant. In addition, there are optional questions about on-site or off-site transactions and name displayed on the credit card statement for those merchants who have specific needs that require PayPal’s Website Payments Pro offering. For ease of use, industry standards for these values are displayed so that merchants can get a sense for how their business compares to the average online e-commerce site.
