What do TWINT and card payments cost you?
Enter how much you take each month and how many payments you receive: the calculator compares the 1pay.ch plans, monthly fee included, and tells you which one pays off.
How it is calculated
Every payment has a percentage fee plus a small fixed amount. On the free Starter plan you pay 2.9% + CHF 0.30 on TWINT, PostFinance Pay and cards, with no monthly fee. On the Small, Medium and Large plans you pay a monthly fee (CHF 15.-, 25.- and 40.-) and online fees drop as low as 1.9% + CHF 0.20.
Example: a CHF 50.- online payment on Starter costs CHF 1.75 (2.9% of 50 is 1.45, plus 0.30). The more you take, the more a paid plan makes sense: the calculator finds the point where the monthly fee pays for itself.
Features are identical on every plan. Only the cost of getting paid changes. The full price list is on the Pricing page.
