I'm not sure about the answer to your question about different fees for microtransactions, but with their pricing, you would never get charged 25 cents. The minimum charge is $1.

The first four pages are $1, which I'm assuming is partly to cover that issue of their charge getting eaten up by payment fees.

This is correct.

The top payment processors all have a fixed component to their fees - we just absorb it into our pricing structure.

The transaction fee for $1 is still a lot. For example, in Stripe's case it would be 2.9% + 30¢ so about 33 cents. I guess if that's an acceptable margin, it's no big deal, but I was just curious if your company got discounted fees.

Yeah I wonder if they'd be willing to negotiate since this is a little different from the usual 99¢ app or whatnot. Sounds like a good service. No ads on faxes/covers, straight pricing, on demand without a subscription... All I'd need.
