Other companies price their commissions using
a fixed commission rate plus a fee ( i.e. $0.30
transaction fee + 3%). These pricing practices end up costing
merchants more in higher rates when dealing in small transactions. Centipaid
on the other hand uses a variable rate that
ranges from 12% to 18% for transactions $1 through $0.001. Any transactions priced
over $1 USD are charged 12% commission rate.
