Square online vendor merchant fees are paid by the merchant (seller), not the buyer. These fees are deducted from the merchant’s payout when a customer makes a purchase. Square charges a per-transaction fee for online sales, typically ranging from 1.4% to 2.9% depending on the card type and other factors. The buyer pays the card issuer’s fees and their own network fees, but the merchant pays the Square transaction fee. 

Here’s a breakdown:

  • Buyer:Pays the card issuer (bank) and credit card network (Visa, Mastercard, etc.) fees. 
  • Merchant:Pays Square’s transaction fee, which includes card fees and other merchant service costs. 
  • Square:Deducts the transaction fee from the merchant’s payout, and then transfers the remaining amount to the merchant’s bank account. 

When a vendor sells something on an online marketplace, the money generally goes to the marketplace facilitator first, who then deducts their commission and remits the remaining funds to the seller. The marketplace collects the payment from the buyer and then transfers it to the seller, less the marketplace’s commission. 

Here’s a more detailed explanation: 

  • Marketplace facilitates payments:The marketplace acts as an intermediary, handling the payment process between the buyer and the seller.
  • Payment collection:The buyer pays the marketplace, not directly to the seller.
  • Commission deduction:The marketplace deducts its commission (a percentage of the sale price) before transferring the remaining funds to the seller.
  • Payment remittance:The marketplace remits the remaining funds to the seller’s account, typically via a payout system or direct bank transfer.
  • Account setup:The seller needs to set up an account with the marketplace, providing payment details for receiving funds.

In summary: The marketplace acts as a centralized payment processor, collecting the money from the buyer, deducting its commission, and then transferring the remaining amount to the selle
