An example with numbers

With 100 students at 30 € per month you bill 3,000 €. If you get paid with Kajabi Payments and they're regular European cards, each subscription payment costs 1.5 % + 0.7 % + 0.25 €: about 91 € per month, on top of the fee for 179 $ on Basic.

If you connect a payment gateway other than PayPal, Kajabi adds a surcharge per sale: 2 % on Basic, 1 % on Growth and 0.5 % on Pro.

Membersfy has a free plan and no commission per sale: you pay the fee and your gateway's fees. Run the numbers with its plans and with your payment gateway's rates, because the result changes depending on what you sell.
