Micropayment processing using Paypal or other payment processing service?

Currently, I use PayPal for payment processing. Almost 90% of the items are sold for $.99 and would like to use Paypals's Micropayment account, but PayPal states "support for Micropayments to merchants for US to US, GB to GB, AU to AU, and EU to EU transactions". My company is located in the US but the customers are very global. Does this mean using Micropayment option, I can't take payment from someone who lives in Europe or outside the US? Currently I am using the regular account and I am paying $.34 for eac开发者_JS百科h sale, which is very unprofitable. Are there other payment processing service I can use with lower fee?

Thank you.

Unless you have insanely high volume like fast-food chains do, it is very difficult to obtain a merchant account where the transaction pricing is feasible for micro-payments. Most providers will suggest an aggregation model where you sell your content but only bill your customers periodically, i.e. bill them once a month so that several purchases are bundled together, making the transaction fees less of an impact.

Here is one provider offering such a model:

I do not work for the above company (in fact, I work for a payments company that does not offer micropayments).

Not the answer you were hoping for, I'm sure, but hopefully it helps.

Take a look at www.carrot.org which runs a micropayment system. Customers using carrotPay load funds into an electronic purse - WebPurse - and can make payments with 2 clicks if you have a Carrot buy button installed on your site. The buy button can be set up along side other payment methods on your site. The webpurse automatically converts the currency so if your client has GBP in their purse, they will be presented with a GBP price for authorisation but the merchant receives USD if this is the currency they used to price the product. Charges work out at 6% - 10% maximum. The Webpurses can also used for some kind of loyalty schemes as they will store many different currencies, real and virtual. If you would like more information please contact andy@carrot.org

Take a look at Google's In-App Payments. The fee is a flat 5% which is great for transactions

I do work for Google, but I've taken a look at other similar products and can honestly say that In-App Payments is a very competitive product.
