Stripe card fees in Malaysia (MYR)

A worked month

Assumptions: Stripe's standard pricing, an average order of RM250, every payment successful, no refunds or disputes. Each line is rounded to the cent.

RM50,000.00 in 200 orders, all domestic cards: 3% of RM50,000.00 = RM1,500.00, plus 200 × RM1.00 = RM200.00. Total RM1,700.00, or 3.40% of sales.

RM250,000.00 in 1,000 orders, all domestic cards: 3% of RM250,000.00 = RM7,500.00, plus 1,000 × RM1.00 = RM1,000.00. Total RM8,500.00, or 3.40% of sales.

If a fifth of that RM250,000 month came from international cards at 4% + RM1.00, with no currency conversion, the bill would be RM6,800.00 on the domestic RM200,000 plus RM2,200.00 on the international RM50,000: RM9,000.00 in total.

Month	Card mix	Stripe fees	Effective rate
RM50,000 in 200 orders	All domestic cards	RM1,700.00	3.40%
RM50,000 in 200 orders	80% domestic, 20% international cards (no conversion)	RM1,800.00	3.60%
RM250,000 in 1,000 orders	All domestic cards	RM8,500.00	3.40%
RM250,000 in 1,000 orders	80% domestic, 20% international cards (no conversion)	RM9,000.00	3.60%

What raises your fees

The headline rate covers the cheapest case. These push the real cost up:

Cards from abroad — international cards: 1% on top of the domestic rate (4% + RM1.00 in total).
Currency conversion: +2% when the payment is in a currency other than the one you are paid out in.
Disputes: RM90.00 for each dispute received, plus RM90.00 if you counter it by hand (given back if you win).
Small orders: the fixed RM1.00 weighs more on a small basket. On a RM50 order, 3% + RM1.00 is 5.00% of the sale.

For developers

The fee Stripe actually took on a payment is on that charge's balance transaction (fee and fee_details), in your settlement currency. Read it from there rather than recomputing it from this page, because card type and conversion change it per payment.
