Credit Card Processing Fee Monthly

It would be a lot easier for merchants to pay a monthly credit card and transaction fee like they do with major credit cards. At the end of every month we pay the processing fees for our credit cards not per transaction. The more transactions you have the more complicated it becomes. It would simplify our accounting process if done this way. The amount our POS Sales report says should be deposited in the bank never matches the amount we actually get because of the fee being subtracted right away.
Balancing the amount deposited to the bank with our actual sales requires working backwards and gets more complicated the more sales we do making us want to do less of our sales online which in turn you get to take less of. It would be a lot simpler if you just calculated how much we owe you (like major credit card companies do) and bill us at the end of the month.

This has been something we have asked for continually since April 2020. It'd be a miracle if it were to happen.

Agreed completely. It would be easier to do bank reconciliations (right now, it is virtually impossible to do bank reconciliations since the funds hit our bank accounts net of charges). It would also extend the cash cycle for retailers, which, as we know, in the retail business is crucial.
Monthly payments of credit card processing fees is standard across the industry for all payment processors and should therefore be available to us with City Hive.
