Hello,
I hope you don't mind me challenging this is an open forum, but really do feel it would be good to have an open discussion?
I was wondering if there was anyway that you could reduce the cost to Groups of using the online payment system? We are trialling GoCardless at the moment, we thought it worth trying given he £20 rebate.
However we are really struggling with selling the overall 2.95% commission to our Exec. I appreciate that OSM is now your career and you need make a profit in order to keep food on the table, but it is such a shame that the third party charges 1% and my fellow Scouter charges me 1.95%
When our Group examines the GoCardless accounts, I receive comments like "The payment processor takes a 1/3 of the commission and OSM who play a smaller part take 2/3"!!!
I appreciate that a flat rate model would not work, because the flat rate is likely to be very high!!!
But I was wondering if you were able to reduce your fee to match GoCardless ie 1% & 1% = 2%, would that not encourage more people to use the system overall and bring in more revenue in total? Also make it easier to sell to Execs?
Thanks
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
