Sample Output

**Q1 2024 Payment Gateway Transaction Fee Report** **Gateway 1: Stripe** * **Total Transactions:** 250 * **Total Volume Processed:** $75,000 * **Total Fees Incurred:** $2,175 * **Average Fee Rate:** 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction (average ~2.9%) **Gateway 2: PayPal** * **Total Transactions:** 80 * **Total Volume Processed:** $15,000 * **Total Fees Incurred:** $600 * **Average Fee Rate:** 4.0% + fixed fee per transaction (average ~4.0%) **Comparative Analysis:** * Stripe consistently offers a lower average transaction fee rate (2.9%) compared to PayPal (4.0%) for your current transaction volume and type. * For the same volume, using PayPal costs approximately 37% more in fees than Stripe. **Potential Cost Savings for Q2:** * If $15,000 currently processed via PayPal were processed via Stripe, estimated savings would be: * PayPal fees: $600 * Stripe fees for $15,000: $15,000 * 0.029 = $435 * **Estimated Savings:** $600 - $435 = **$165 per quarter** (or $660 annually). **Recommendations:** 1. **Prioritize Stripe:** Encourage clients to use Stripe wherever possible as the primary payment option for new program enrollments. 2. **Review PayPal Usage:** Evaluate if PayPal's higher fees are justified by specific client preferences or unique features not offered by Stripe. 3. **Negotiate:** For higher volumes, consider reaching out to Stripe to inquire about custom enterprise rates.
