How the $10 Monthly Minimum works
- Customers on the $20/Month plan have a minimum processing fee amount of $10 per month.
- For any month where the total transaction fee is under $10, an additional processing fee that reflects the difference ($10 - total transaction fee) will be charged.
- In addition to the monthly minimum processing fee, the $0/Month plan has a $10 security fee.
Price Plan: $20/Month
| CC Rate / Type | CC Item | ACH Rate | ACH Item | Min |
| 3.00% / Flat | $0.39 | 0.75% | $0.39 | $10.00 |
This plan requires the church to pay a $10 per month fee for PCI security, plus to generate at least an additional $10/ month in transaction fees or to pay the difference.
For example, if a church only processes enough transactions to generate $3.50 in transaction fees in one month, they will have an additional $6.50 processing fee added to their monthly invoice to make up the difference.
If the church processes enough donations to generate $10.00 or more in transaction fees, they will not be billed an additional processing fee on their Invoice for that month.
The $10 per month fee for PCI security will be on their monthly bill regardless.
Here are a couple of specific examples:

So, in the above January example, the church generated $1.50 in transaction fees for the month, so they were charged an $8.50 processing fee to make up the difference.
In February, the church only generated $.50 in transaction fees for the month, so they were charged $9.50 to make up the difference.
In March, the church generated enough in transaction fees for the month that they were not charged a processing fee.
In all three cases, the $10 per month fee for PCI security will also be listed on their monthly statement.
If Payment Brands is your processor, you can see the total fees in your Billing Report. The Amount column represents the total transaction fee generated by online giving donations for each month.
