Understand the cost of each payment

For an approved low-risk acquiring agreement, choose IC++ or blended pricing. The gateway is included, with no setup or monthly fee. Compare the full fee schedule in your chosen currency.
Worked example: Compare plans. Low risk. EUR. Monthly successful transaction volume: €100,000.00. Average order value: €50.00. Successful transactions / month: 2,000. Assumed interchange + scheme cost (%): 0.35%. Cost+ margin: 0.40%. Blended · Monthly estimate: €990.00. IC++ · Monthly estimate: €930.00. Annual difference: €720.00. 100% · Consumer: domestic / intra-EEA. 100% of the modeled volume uses the selected card type and region. This is a scenario, not your actual card mix. One authorization attempt is assumed per successful transaction. Acquiring authorization fees apply per attempt, including unsuccessful attempts. Shopify: 0. Bank and scheme costs are assumed.

Your industry. Your questions.

Answers about payment acceptance, refunds and connecting Cost+ to your store.

Which MCC commonly applies to a cosmetics store?

MCC 5977 commonly covers cosmetics stores. Beauty salons, medical treatments, supplements and other specialist activities can have different categories and requirements, even when sold under a beauty brand.

Are all beauty products covered by a standard retail agreement?

No. Describe your complete range during onboarding. Products involving regulated ingredients, medicinal claims or other restrictions need separate consideration; a general cosmetics category is not an acceptance guarantee.

Can I refund part of a cosmetics purchase?

Yes. You decide the amount due under your store’s returns policy and request a partial refund through a supported integration or the Cost+ API. The applicable fixed fee is charged for each successful refund, whether full or partial.

How do I start accepting payments with Cost+?

Create a Cost+ account, add your website in the dashboard and supply your business information. Complete the required checks, connect your integration and test payments and refunds before going live. Your acquiring offer and approval depend on the business review.

Is a partial refund charged differently from a full refund?

The fixed refund fee applies to each successful refund, whether full or partial. It is not a percentage of the refunded amount. Multiple successful partial refunds are charged separately. See the fee schedule for your agreement and selected currency.

Can I offer Apple Pay and Google Pay on my store?

Cost+ supports these wallets through its hosted checkout and API where enabled for your configuration. They are not available through Cost+ on Shopify: Shopify does not allow third-party providers to offer them. For other platforms, check the integration’s supported payment methods.
