# Credit Card Processing Fees by Industry

Processing costs vary significantly by business type. Select your industry below to see average rates, hidden fees, and how much you could save with interchange-plus pricing.

## Why Processing Fees Differ by Industry

Credit card processing fees are not one-size-fits-all. Your industry, average transaction size, card-present vs. card-not-present ratio, and chargeback risk all influence your effective rate. Restaurants typically process high volumes of small card-present transactions, while medical practices handle fewer but larger payments that often include card-on-file billing. Retail stores see heavy debit card usage where regulated interchange saves money, and salons process a mix of service-based transactions with varying ticket sizes. Auto repair shops handle large individual repairs where even small rate differences translate to significant monthly savings. Understanding your industry benchmarks is the first step to identifying whether you are overpaying.

Retail stores benefit from high debit card usage where regulated interchange is just 0.05% + $0.21. Flat-rate processors charge the same rate regardless, costing you thousands annually.
