There are three types of fees that make up your total credit card processing fees. These include transaction fees (charged per credit card transactions), flat fees (monthly payment for using a payment gateway or merchant services provider), and incidental fees (special fees charged for specific occurrences like chargebacks).

However, how much you pay as a merchant depends largely on your choice of payment processor.
