Are payment gateway fees negotiable?<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. As your monthly volume increases, you can negotiate lower rates or tiered pricing with most providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 id=\"2-does-gst-apply-to-the-full-transaction-value\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Does GST apply to the full transaction value?<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>No. GST is applied only to the gateway fee, not to your sales amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 id=\"3-what-is-the-difference-between-mdr-and-tdr\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. What is the difference between MDR and TDR?<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re often used interchangeably. MDR refers to the merchant discount rate set by banks; TDR is the fee retained by the gateway per transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 id=\"4-how-accurate-are-zwitchs-payment-gateway-fee-calculator-results\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.
