What are gateway and PCI non-compliance fees and do you know how much you’re paying for them?

Let’s start with the basics: What is a payment gateway fee?

If you accept customer payments, then you are working with a payment gateway provider. This third-party service enables businesses to process both in-person and online payments. These typically handle credit and debit card payments, ACH, digital wallet payments, and other alternative methods.

What is  a PCI non-compliance fee?

Some processors charge a PCI non-compliance fee when a business fails to prove it complies with PCI-DSS requirements. These fees are usually charged monthly, though some may be assessed annually. Non-compliance fees are typically listed and clearly labeled on your monthly statement.

How does a payment gateway work?

When a customer submits payment details at checkout, the payment gateway securely encrypts and transmits the information to the relevant payment network. The network then approves or declines the payment and sends the result back to the gateway, completing the purchase.

How much are typical payment gateway fees?

Some gateways charge fixed monthly fees, others charge only per transaction, and some charge for both.

What’s the difference with Qualpay?

We offer integrated payment solutions that combine your merchant account and payment gateway under one service and one standard fee. With Qualpay, there’s no need to manage multiple providers or pay numerous fees. Once your merchant account is set up, everything is included—making it easier for business owners and financial managers to access all transactions, consolidate multiple business lines, and manage payments across platforms.

Gateway and PCI non-compliance fees may seem minor, but they can add up quickly, especially for businesses processing frequent or high-value transactions.
