Keeping Your Costs Low

Dharma works with thousands of restaurant merchants, who need low rate credit card processing. That’s why we offer a low merchant rate, with fixed margins of 0.15% and $0.08 per transaction above Interchange for storefront payment processing fees. We also know that restaurant margins require that merchants watch every penny, which is why we also have our special high-volume/low average ticket rate discount available for merchants who process over $100,000 a month, or have an average ticket less than $25.

Before signing up, we’ll run a free cost analysis against your current provider to ensure you’re getting the lowest possible and best rate merchant services. Since we only operate on the Interchange-plus pricing model, you always get the lowest rates, and our margins are clearly spelled out. Plus, no long-term contracts!
