Why free tools?
Making opaque pricing readable
These tools were born from a simple observation: online payment pricing is deliberately opaque. Between the headline rate, fixed fees, currency conversion costs, security holds and dispute penalties, few merchants actually know what each transaction costs them. The fee calculator turns the price lists of the main PSPs into one concrete figure: what you pay each month based on your volume and average ticket, and the real gap between Bridge Pay and other providers. The glossary decodes more than sixty terms found in every acquiring contract (rolling reserve, MCC, interchange, 3-D Secure) terms that shape your costs as much as your obligations.
For merchants who compare before signing
They are aimed first at merchants comparing payment solutions before committing.
- E-commerce ownersTo assess the total cost beyond the headline rate.
- So-called sensitive sectorsCBD, crypto, coaching or gaming founders facing rejections from mainstream providers.
- Finance teamsTo prepare a renegotiation with their current PSP.
No technical skill is required: your monthly volume and average ticket are all you need. And if these tools are free, it is because they help us too: a merchant who understands their fee structure asks the right questions, compares on sound grounds and signs with full knowledge, whether they choose Bridge Pay or another provider.
No data stored, no email required
As for your data, the rule is simple: nothing is stored. Simulations run entirely in your browser; no figure you enter ever reaches our servers, no account or email address is required, and no advertising cookie tracks your visit. If a result catches your attention and you want to check it against a real quote, you decide to write to us, not a salesperson calling you back because you used a simulator. This approach is consistent with the rest of the site: our pricing is public, our comparisons cite their sources, and these tools are not built to capture leads but to make the market readable.
