PayPal and Braintree – Do You Pay Both When Using Braintree with PayPal?

paypal

Braintree's standard processing fee is:

2.9% + $0.30 per transaction

PayPal's fee for online processing is:

a fee of 2.9% of the transaction amount plus a fixed fee based on the currency

I don't want to pay both. Do I pay both fees if I use Braintree?

Best Answer

Full disclosure: I work for Braintree. If you have any further questions, please contact our support team.

For direct credit card transactions, you will pay the Braintree fees. For PayPal transactions you will pay the PayPal processing rates. Although you will be following two pricing schedules, you will not pay duplicate fees on each transaction.
