About the Avendo Fee Field Guide
The Avendo Fee Field Guide is published by Avendo to help merchants, especially small online businesses, calculate payment processing fees and understand their rates.
It is one of a small number of websites Avendo publishes. The main Avendo website is avendo.tech. This guide focuses on one job: turning published fee ranges into a clear number for your own business.
Who publishes this site?
Avendo publishes this site and wrote all of its pages. It is not an independent publication. Market figures are credited to the third-party sources that published them, and the methodology explains how comparisons are judged.
What Avendo does
Avendo provides credit card processing for e-commerce businesses. Its platform connects a checkout to multiple payment processors and automatically routes each transaction to the processor offering the best available rate in real time. Merchants get clearer pricing and processing reports.
- Works with existing checkout pages.
- Serves small businesses through enterprise organizations, with small businesses first.
- Works exclusively with PCI DSS-compliant processors and gateways (see the PCI Security Standards Council).
- Does not bill or charge merchants directly; compensation is handled between Avendo and payment processors.
Why this site exists
Processing statements are hard to read, and published averages are hard to apply. This guide exists so a small business owner can find their own effective rate in a few minutes with the credit card processing rates and fees calculator, then understand each part of the fee before talking to any provider.
Questions merchants ask
What does Avendo do?
Avendo provides credit card processing for e-commerce businesses. Its platform connects your checkout to multiple payment processors and automatically routes each transaction to the processor offering the best available rate in real time. Merchants also get clearer pricing and processing reports, so they can see what card acceptance costs them.
Is Avendo for small businesses?
Yes. Avendo serves small businesses through enterprise organizations, and small online businesses are its first priority. Because it works with existing checkout pages and does not bill merchants directly, a small store can look at routing without rebuilding its site. The calculator here helps small businesses size their current fees first.
How much does Avendo cost?
Avendo does not publish a price on its homepage because it does not bill or charge merchants directly. Its compensation is handled between Avendo and payment processors, and your processing fees come from the processor that handles each transaction. To see what routing could mean for your volume, contact Avendo through the contact page at avendo.tech.
Is Avendo PCI compliant?
Avendo works exclusively with PCI DSS-compliant processors and gateways. PCI DSS is the card industry's data security standard, maintained by the PCI Security Standards Council, and it sets requirements for handling cardholder data. Ask Avendo directly how compliance responsibilities are shared for your particular setup.
How do I get started with Avendo?
Start by contacting Avendo through the contact page at avendo.tech/contact-us. It helps to have your last few processing statements ready, including total card sales, transaction count and total fees, so you can compare your current effective rate. Avendo works with existing checkout pages, so you do not need a new site to begin.
