The Large Ticket Program is a specially designed program for merchants who accept high dollar transactions on credit or debit cards. Visa, MasterCard, and Discover all have their own Large Ticket Programs with different Interchange rates and requirements for merchants.
Visa’s Large Ticket rate is 1.45% and $35 for transactions above $5,000. This lower interchange rate accompanied with a higher per-item fee amounts to a lower overall effective rate for the merchant.
MasterCard qualifies Large Tickets as anything above $7,255, and the accompanying Interchange rate is 1.25% and $40 per transaction.
Host Merchant Services offers this program to our larger merchants that may find it useful. While some processing companies hide added percentage points in the difference that exists between small ticket and large ticket processing, Host Merchant Services gives the savings directly to you. The Large Ticket Program gives you a rate that saves you more money in processing fees for all purchases $5,000 or more. If you qualify for the Large Ticket Program, contact us immediately for your large ticket savings.
