Pandabase Direct costs &#x2A;*3.9% + 29¢** per successful transaction, plus &#x2A;*Interchange++** fees from our payment processing partner, passed through at cost. These rates apply to software and digital products.

## What Interchange++ means [#what-interchange-means]

Interchange++ separates card processing costs into three parts:

| Part             | What it pays for                                        |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Interchange      | The card issuer's fee.                                  |
| Card network fee | The card network's fee.                                 |
| Acquirer fee     | The processing partner's fee for accepting the payment. |

These costs are added to the Pandabase fee. They aren't a single fixed rate for every payment. [Adyen's explanation of Interchange++](https://help.adyen.com/knowledge/payment-methods/explore-payment-methods/what-is-the-interchange) describes this pricing model; it doesn't set the rates for your Pandabase account.

## Example payment [#example-payment]

A buyer pays **$50.00*&#x2A;. For this example only, assume the total processing partner charge is **$1.00**.

| Item                                    | Amount     |
| --------------------------------------- | ---------- |
| Payment                                 | $50.00     |
| Pandabase fee: 3.9% × $50.00 + 29¢      | −$2.24     |
| Processing partner charge, illustrative | −$1.00     |
| Remaining after these fees              | **$46.76** |

The $1.00 processing charge is an example, not a quoted rate. This calculation excludes tax, payout fees, and any other charges that apply to the payment.

## Other fees [#other-fees]

Billing, disputes, standalone 3DS, and payouts can have separate charges. See [Pricing](/v2/pricing) for the listed rates and confirm the processing terms for your account.
