Costs for wildapricot payments - James?
Must decide by end of April
We currently pay $160/mo
Increases to $192/mo on July 5 (extra $32/mo)
Pay by year: $160 * 90% * 12 = $1728
Pay a month at a time at the new rate, $192 * 12 = $2304
Pay for two years: $160 * 85% * 24 = $3264 ($1632 per year)
Payments Paypal rates: 2.2% + 30 cents per transaction WA: 2.9% + 30 cents per transaction
Member dues: 400 transactions, $25/ea so total = $10,000 mo or Paypal fees: $220 + $120 = $340 WA fees: $290 + $120 = $410 ($70 difference, or pay the 20% penalty of $32/mo)
