What does iDEAL cost per order?
Stripe charges about EUR 0.29 per iDEAL order and NightHall passes it on at cost. The fee counts per order, not per ticket.
Stripe charges about EUR 0.29 per iDEAL order. NightHall passes it on at cost with no margin, and it counts once per order however many tickets the order holds.
The payment fee counts per order while the NightHall fee counts per ticket. That is why basket size decides the comparison: one order of four EUR 45 tickets on Pay as you go costs 4 times EUR 0.20 plus one EUR 0.29 Stripe fee, which is EUR 1.09 excluding VAT. One order of one ticket costs EUR 0.20 plus EUR 0.29, which is EUR 0.49.
Stripe debits its own fees from the organizer's connected account at its own price. NightHall adds no margin to them and no separate payment line. The processor's own fee is never returned on a refund, whoever asks: the work of moving the money was done.
Card and wallet payments cost what Stripe charges for those methods on a connected account, which is more than iDEAL. The same pass-through applies: at cost, no margin, debited on the organizer's account.
