stripe sepa debit fees higher than cards
The actual problem
Local payment methods look “cheaper conversion” until fee + failure rates wipe the gain.
Do this
- Export 30 days; split fees by payment method type.
- Compare authorization/failure rates for SEPA/local vs cards.
- Keep local methods only where CVR lift > fee + fail cost.
- Publish a Netkiln page so finance sees method mix clearly.
