Payments Cost Comparison
Today | The Future of eCommerce | |
---|---|---|
Card Present (Face to Face at store) | Card Not Present (Online Typed-in Card Payment Transactions) | Online encrypted card transactions (Hybrid Transaction – CT Checkout) |
Lowest risk and lowest cost for merchant | Higher risk and higher cost for merchant | Lower risk and lowest cost for eCommerce merchant |
Average Merchant rate below 2% | Average Merchant rate 2.95% + 0.29 | Average Merchant rate 1.95% + $0.10 |
Example: Wow Products – Jane buys a dress for $100
In Store | Online (Today) | Online with CT Checkout |
---|---|---|
Jane swipes her card for $100. Wow pays $2 to process the transaction and card information is secure (Wow never sees the card data as the terminal transmits it). | Jane types in her card information online. Wow pays $3+ for the transaction and card information is susceptible to being hacked (Wow’s website transmits the card data). | Jane swipes her card only once into an encrypted card on her iPhone and Android phone, and does not need to do so again, and then checks out online, and pays with her CT App. Wow pays just over $2 for the transaction and card information is secure (Wow never sees the card data). |
Online hybrid encrypted card payments are the future of eCommerce and the end of typed in card payments.
