Overview

A cross-border fee is a type of credit card processing fee that is applied when a merchant in one country accepts payment for a transaction from a customer whose card was issued in another country.

For international payments outside the merchant's home country, a cross-border fee of 2% is charged on top of the transaction fees agreed upon in the contract. 

The cross-border fee applies only to the 2Sell and 2Subscribe accounts.
