ConnectBooster volume based pricing
ConnectBooster consumption based billing (legacy pricing)
NOTE This pricing model applies to legacy accounts only.
With ConnectBooster, you only pay for what you use. Our consumption-based pricing ensures that the monthly SaaS fee aligns with the volume of payments processed through your ConnectBooster portal. Refer to your original quote for specifics of what your account was set up on.
How it works
1. Monthly floor
Every account has a minimum monthly fee, known as the floor, which typically ranges between $99 and $349 depending on your plan. If your payment volume is low, you will only pay the floor for that month.
2. Volume based multiplier
For accounts that process higher payment volumes, the SaaS fee is calculated as a percentage of the total transaction volume. The typical multiplier ranges from 0.40% to 0.65% of the total payments processed (credit card + ACH).
3. Split billing
If your volume-based SaaS exceeds the floor, your monthly fee is billed in two parts:
- The floor amount.
- The difference between the calculated volume-based fee and the floor.
4. Maximum cap
Standard accounts have a monthly SaaS cap of $1,000, ensuring predictable costs even during peak months. (The cap amount may vary depending on your agreement.) Accounts that have opted out of the cap in the past may not have a maximum fee limit.
Examples
Suppose your plan has a $199 floor and a 0.50% multiplier:
| Scenario | Volume Processed | Calculated Fee | Amount Billed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low-volume month | $30,000 | $30,000 × 0.50% = $150 | $199 (floor applies since $150 < $199) |
| High-volume month | $100,000 | $100,000 × 0.50% = $500 | $500 ($199 floor + $301 volume difference) |
| Very high-volume month | $300,000 | $300,000 × 0.50% = $1,500 | $1,000 (capped, unless opted out) |
Billing Gateway report
In ConnectBooster, for clients on the consumption-based billing model, there is a report called the Billing Gateway that allows you to see which transactions make up the consumption volume for your monthly SaaS billing. This report can be run for any complete billing month available in the system. The report is also exportable to a .CSV file to allow viewing in Excel.
