Keeping Your Costs Low

Dharma works with thousands of small business, retail, and service provider merchants who need low rate credit card processing. (Learn about who we work best with, here). 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. Plus, no long-term contracts! 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.
