I have recently signed up to Pay Direct and I make the following comments :-
1. It is dissappointing to note that the transaction fee has increased to 2.2%. Opposition offerings are a low as 1.65%.
2. There is no way to offset this fee with a surcharge. The only thing I can think of is to charge everyone extra and offer a discount for Non Credit card payments. This is a very unsatisfactory process so I would appreciate any suggestions as to alternative ways can get around this problem. I doubt if I am the only person to experience it.
3. My idea would be to allow for some sort of automated respopnse which adds a fee if a client enters a CC. Many other online purchase sites do this.
Thank you

Best way around this is to not offer credit card payments. I dont but i provide direct bank account details on my invoices. Must customers either pay via direct credit to my account on the spot or within a couple of days.
