#46How does your company manage to use Stripe and Paypal for microtransactions with their fees? Do you get a special discount? 25 cents - minus fees means there's barely any left.
The first four pages are $1, which I'm assuming is partly to cover that issue of their charge getting eaten up by payment fees.

I'm not sure about the answer to your question about different fees for microtransactions, but with their pricing, you would never get charged 25 cents. The minimum charge is $1. The first four pages are $1, which I'm assuming is partly to cover that issue of their charge getting eaten up by payment fees.
The top payment processors all have a fixed component to their fees - we just absorb it into our pricing structure.

Other than that you can do things in-house with Hylafax and either hardware (e.g. Mainpine boards, expensive but they Just Work) or software solutions. My experience with software solutions (IAXModem with Hylafax and Asterisk) has been that speeds and reliability are sometimes poor, at least compared to good hardware solutions or physical fax machines supporting 33.6k.
