What is a discount rate?
A discount rate is a fixed percentage rate that is deducted from the purchase cost by your bank when a credit card order is made. A small transaction fee is also deducted in addition to the discount rate. With an Internet merchant account from QuickBooks Merchant Services, the discount rate is between 1.76% and 3.14% plus a $0.23 transaction fee.
