This is consistent with EU regulations around Merchant Interchange Fees (MIF).
Blended rate pricing offers fixed rates, which makes it easier to accurately forecast your payment processing costs. The blended model consists of an ad valorem and per-transaction fee. Depending on your account setup, you may have different rates for debit cards and credit cards.
Interchange plus pricing (IC+) consists of an ad valorem, per-transaction fee, interchange fees, and scheme fees. Because interchange fees are variable and are not determined by Braintree, it can be harder to predict the exact amount you’ll be charged. Similar to interchange fees, scheme fees are variable and are not determined by Braintree. The specific fees that are applied to each transaction depend primarily on card type, but include a number of other factors such as the type of merchant, cost of sale, processing technology, region, and more.
If you have questions about which pricing model applies to your account or are interested in learning more about either pricing model, contact our Accounts team.
