  Hi, how can I reduce the service charge for card transactions?
  I am on a cheap version of wordpress right now so would updating to pro get me cheaper card service charges with stripe? at the moment it seems like about 10%.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  You can see the current fees for using the Payments block here:

  https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/payments/#related-fees

  You’ll see both us and Stripe charge a transaction fee. Upgrading to Pro will reduce our fee from 3% to 2%, but it won’t reduce the fee Stripe charges on their end.

  However, with Pro you’ll also be able to install the WooCommerce plugin, and then go directly through Stripe with the Stripe Payment Gateway plugin, or use the WooCommerce Payments add-on.

  For WooCommerce Payments you can find the fees at https://woocommerce.com/document/payments/faq/fees/

  If you go directly with Stripe, you can find their fees overview here:
