Why are the quickbooks payment fees so high? How do I reduce them?

If you are running a B2B company, you can use 3rd party processor to accept payments for free.

The amount of QuickBooks Payments fees depends on how you process the transaction, Luke.

This happens every time you process a transaction in QuickBooks Payments. For instance, the ACH/bank transfer rate per transaction is 1% (Max $10). For more details, check out this article: QuickBooks payment fees & rates for the standard payment fees & rates. 

Then, to help you reduce the rates of fees, you can request a rate review to determine if you qualify for discounts. For detailed info, refer to this link: Request a rate review of QuickBooks Payments discount fees.
