Autobooks Fees 

Understanding what your business pays in processing and optional accounting upgrade fees.

When you accept an online payment through Autobooks, there is a processing fee included.

We make every effort to keep these fees competitive and easy to understand. Merchants only pay one simple fee when accepting payments (as described below). These fees are never hidden, and are comparable to other service providers that offer online invoicing, card-not-present, and tap to pay payment processing.

Answers about Autobooks payments fees


 

Why are online payments typically better than cash or check?

Making payments online is usually more convenient and more secure for your paying customers. In addition, funds are deposited directly into your checking account within 1-2 business days for card and ACH, and the same day for optional real-time deposits. With Autobooks inside your online and mobile banking, you can easily track payments and invoicesproviding you a quick overview of your cash flow.

Why is there a fee on transactions I make through Autobooks?

Processing fees are an industry-wide standard when accepting online payments, and are taken out of each payment that is processed before being deposited into your account. As a payment processor, Autobooks offers some of the most competitive rates on the market, with processing fees as low as 3.49%* for card payments and 1%* for ACH payments.

*This is a typical rate, but may vary based on the partnering financial institution. Please contact your bank or credit union to learn more. 

Are there any other fees I don’t know about?
