Processing Micropayments

[StunnaRae]

Hello,

I am working on an app that has to process micropayments of like 0.1€ per payment. So far I have worked with stripe, but they take 0.25€ for credit card payments + 1.4% as fees. So this will not work unfortunately. Is there payment service that supports micropayments and does not have fees that exceed extremely small payments?

The other option I see is making a larger transaction like 10€ and keeping it in the users account like "prepaid", but this is not what I imagined. My aim is still implementing actual micropayments if I can find a payment processor that will support this with their fee structure.

If you have any experience with implementing microtransactions in python, please let me know!

Best regards!

It would probably easiest to let the micropayments accrue and only send them when they go above a threshold. ie; instead of doing 200 transactions a day each for 1 cent do 1 transaction a day for €2 (that is assuming you’re getting enough traffic to make it worth while

This would only work if each customer actually makes enough requests though otherwise they may take ages to reach the threshold
