Pricing & Transparency

How Transparent Pricing Works

Many providers charge a flat rate for all cards. But a basic debit card costs far less to process than a premium rewards credit card — and blended rates hide that difference.

With ithPOS Online Payments, you see the true cost of each transaction plus a fixed markup. For most Irish businesses, this means significant savings — especially on debit card transactions.

True card cost + Fixed ithPOS margin = Lower total fees
