Effective October 17th, 2022, PayPal will be updating their US domestic rates for commercial transactions for PayPal Digital Payments (PayPal, PayPal Credit*, and Pay Later) from 2.90% +$0.30 to 3.49% +$0.49 for transactions through Joist. More details about the rate change can be found on PayPal's website.
Why are my Payment rates increasing?
Our partners at PayPal raised their rates for US-based processors in 2021 and this rate change for Joist contractors is a part of them standardizing that rate across all processors.
PayPal sent an email to US-based Joist contractors alerting them of the rate change September 20, 2022.
