Card payments carry one per-transaction fee, set by your plan — Starter 3.5% + R1.00, Pro 3.3% + R1.00, Business 3% + R1.00 (VAT excl.), deducted before the money settles to your bank. That is the whole cost of taking a card payment through Platybooks — there is no separate gateway bill. Recording an EFT or cash payment by hand is free on every plan.
