Should I choose interchange-plus or flat-rate pricing?

Flat-rate pricing (like Square's 2.6% + 10¢) is simpler but often more expensive for businesses processing over $10K/month. Interchange-plus pricing passes through the actual card network fees plus a fixed markup — typically saving 0.3-0.5% on each transaction. Switch to interchange-plus once you're consistently processing $10K+ monthly.
