How to Reduce Merchant Interchange Fees by 50%+ in 5 Minutes with Web3 Global Payments


Merchant fees are bleeding your business dry.

Every transaction costs 3-6% in fees. That's money straight out of your profit margin.

Traditional payment processing stacks multiple fees on top of each other. Interchange fees. Network fees. Processor markups. Cross-border conversion penalties.

Web3 global payments cut through all of it.

Direct crypto acceptance eliminates intermediaries entirely. No card networks. No payment processors. No monthly platform fees.

Just blockchain transactions with minimal gas costs.

The Traditional Fee Stack Is Killing Merchants

Here's what you're paying right now:

Domestic transactions:

  • Interchange fees: 1.5-2.5%

  • Visa/Mastercard network fees: 0.1-0.3%

  • Payment processor markup: 0.2-0.5%

  • Monthly gateway fees: $10-50

  • Total: 3-3.5% per transaction

International transactions:

  • Everything above PLUS

  • Cross-border conversion: 1-3%

  • Currency risk penalties

  • Settlement delays (3-5 days)

  • Total: 4-6%+ per transaction

Stacked merchant interchange fees crushing small business profits and payment processing costs

A $500,000 annual revenue business loses $15,000-18,000 to fees every year.

That's pure profit disappearing into payment infrastructure.

Web3 Replaces Everything With Gas Fees

Blockchain transactions bypass the entire traditional stack.

No card networks to route through. No processors taking their cut. No interchange fees negotiated behind closed doors.

Just blockchain settlement.

Web3 transaction costs:

  • Network gas fee: $0.50-$3 per transaction

  • No percentage-based fees

  • No monthly platform charges

  • No minimums or maximums

That $100 transaction? $2 in gas.

That $10,000 transaction? Still $2 in gas.

The percentage saving scales exponentially with transaction size.

Crypto Payments Made Easy

Direct Integration Beats Crypto Payment Gateways

Some merchants use crypto payment processors like NOWPayments or CoinPayments.

These platforms still charge markup fees on top of blockchain costs.

NOWPayments:

  • 0.5% fee per transaction

  • Platform custody of funds

  • Settlement delays

  • KYC requirements

CoinPayments:

  • 0.5% processing fee

  • Withdrawal fees to your wallet

  • Account holds and freezes possible

  • Another intermediary in the chain

Direct Web3 integration eliminates these costs entirely.

You receive crypto directly to your self-custody wallet. No platform taking a cut. No withdrawal fees. No account restrictions.

True peer-to-peer commerce.
