LocalDirect charges zero payment processing fees. We charge $20/month for the software—that's it. We don't take a percentage of your transactions.
However, payment processing fees depend on which payment method you use:
Most independent pros use these free methods. Zero payment fees, zero transaction fees from LocalDirect.
Venmo for Business offers seller protection and business tools. The 1.9% fee goes to Venmo, not LocalDirect. Still cheaper than Square's 2.6%.
You're in control. Choose free payment methods (Venmo Personal, Zelle) and pay $0 in payment fees. Or use Venmo for Business (1.9%) if you want seller protection. Either way, LocalDirect never charges transaction fees.
Compare that to Square, which charges 2.6% no matter what payment method you use.
