3 Ways to Lower Payment Processing Fees in Singapore
13 ธันวาคม 2566
It’s official: Digital and cashless payments are now the most-used payment method in Singapore.
But this convenience comes at a cost for merchants in terms of payment processing fees.
3% in online payment processing fees doesn’t sound like much, but it adds up. For example, if you make S$10,000 monthly, $300 goes to payment processing fees. That excludes other set up, maintenance, chargeback and service fees.
Thankfully, as a HitPay merchant, you’ve got a few options to help you lower your online payment processing fees. Let’s get into it!
Method 1: Lower payment processing fees by passing them to your customers
Use HitPay’s pass-the-fees to add admin fees to popular payment methods like credit cards to encourage people to use payment methods with lower processing fees like PayNow.
Enable HitPay’s Pass the Fees feature on the HitPay dashboard (Payment Gateway > Checkout Customisation)
3 ways you can lower payment processing fees using HitPay’s pass-the-fees:
Apply an admin fee for customers paying through credit card/debit card
Ensure your pricing includes your credit card processing fees
Split costs with your customers. This method helps with more price-sensitive products
However, be careful how you communicate these costs to your customers. You want to encourage them to use other payment methods with lower processing fees, like Singapore's PayNow.
To communicate fees to your customers clearly, you could either:
Show the fee as a separate charge on receipts or at checkout (HitPay does this automatically.)
Inform customers of the processing fee on your store or product pages
Make sure you also enable other payment methods for customers to choose from.
Your action steps:
Think about how you want to set up a credit card surcharge
Communicate the costs to your customers clearly on your website and social media platforms
Offer alternatives to credit card payments

Method 2: Enable a variety of payment methods on HitPay
More payment methods make it easier for customers to pay and help you generate more revenue by lowering credit card use.
HitPay lets you pay with a variety of methods. Besides credit/debit cards, HitPay supports over 30 local and international payment methods like bank transfers, digital wallets and buy-now-pay-later apps.

With PayNow and credit/debit cards enabled, HitPay customers get 30-50% of transactions through PayNow and the rest through other payment methods, reducing your reliance on credit/debit cards and lowering payment processing fees.
How offering multiple payment methods vs credit card can help you reduce payment processing fees by 50% using HitPay
