Read our article Where can I find my Storable Payments data? for information about where to find the payment processing fees you have been charged.
What is the monthly statement billing period?
Fees are charged for the previous calendar month with a few exceptions that are noted in the fee definitions below.
Fees you will always be charged
You will see the following each month regardless of which fee structure you are using:
-
Transaction Count -The total number of transactions including both successful and failed payment transactions, and credit card authorizations that occur within the reporting period.
- The reporting period for Card Authorizations is the full month on your billing statement.
- The reporting period for Payments Discount Fees (for both successful and failed attempts) spans from 12am on the last day of the previous calendar month through 11:59pm of the second to last day of the month you are viewing. This is because these Discount Fees are applied the day after the payment takes place.
-
Per Transaction Fee - The fee you are charged per attempted transaction.
-
Total Transaction Fees - This is calculated by multiplying the Per Transaction Fee by the Transaction Count.
-
Monthly Fee - The base monthly fee you are charged for payment processing.
-
Total Fees - The sum of all fees on the statement.
Fees that are specific to your fee structure
Some fees are specific to which fee structure you selected at sign-up. Go to the correct section below to see fee details that are relevant to your account depending on your fee structure.
Flat Rate Fees
- Sales Volume - The total amount of money processed by Credit Card during the billing period (this does not include cash/checks/money orders). The way this amount is calculated is based on your batch cutoff time.
*If your account is set up with a 9:00 pm ET deposit cut-off, the Sales Volume includes any payments which were made between 9:00 pm ET on the last day of the previous month and 8:59 pm ET on the last day of the month being reported. For example, the September billing period is 9/1-9/30 but the Sales Volume included in your statement would be from 9:00 pm ET 8/31 - 8:59 pm ET 9/30. This means that the Sales Volume on your fees page may not match your monthly SiteLink total volume.
- Flat Rate - The flat rate percent that you are charged for each transaction included in the billing period as defined above.
- Total Volume Fees - This is calculated by multiplying Sales Volume by the Flat Rate.
Interchange Plus Fees
- Visa/MC/Discover Volume - The total amount of money processed using Visa, Mastercard, or Discover. The way this amount is calculated is based on your batch cutoff time.
*If your account is set up with a 9:00 pm ET deposit cut-off, the Visa/MC/Discover Volume includes any payments which were made between 9:00 pm ET on the last day of the previous month and 8:59 pm ET on the last day of the month being reported. For example, the September billing period is 9/1-9/30 but the volume included in your statement will be from 9:00 pm ET 8/31 - 8:59 pm ET 9/30. This means that the Visa/MC/Discover Volume on your fees page may not match your monthly SiteLink total volume.
- Discount Rate - The rate charged for each Visa, Mastercard, or Discover transaction included in the billing period.
- Total Discount Fees - This is calculated by multiplying Visa/MC/Discover Volume by the Discount Rate.
- AMEX Volume - The total sales processed on AMEX cards during the billing period which is defined in the same way as Visa/MC/Discover Volume above.
- Discount Rate (AMEX) - The rate charged for each AMEX transaction included in the billing period.

- Interchange/Card Brand Fees - Interchange is a transactional fee assessed by the card brands (Visa, Mastercard, etc.) and paid to the cardholder's bank. Interchange fees are variable based on a number of factors such as card type, entry method, merchant type, and the data provided with the transaction, such as address.

How are fees processed?
Your Monthly Statement balance is automatically paid on the 5th calendar day of the month. The payment is made against the bank account to which you are receiving daily Deposits, and will take about 3-5 business days to process. This means that you should expect to see the payment deducted from your bank account around the 8th-10th of the month.
