For many businesses taking payments online or in person, card fees can quickly erode your margins. If you are selling products or services online, or using a card machine in store, choosing the right payment system matters. Many standard providers charge around 3 % or more per transaction, which adds up over time and hits your bottom line hard.
At Rufus Design, we’ve partnered with DNA Payments to give businesses a smarter way to accept payments at a much lower cost. With fees from around 0.3 % per transaction, you can keep more of what you earn. That’s a significant saving compared with many of the big name gateways out there (many charge upwards of 2 % plus fixed fees depending on card type and setup).
Why This Matters
A payment gateway is the technology that lets you securely take card and digital payments online or through a terminal. It connects your website checkout or card machine with the processing banks and payment networks. Effective gateways manage the whole process in seconds, from encryption of sensitive card data to authorisation from the customer’s bank, making transactions fast and secure.
But not all gateways are built the same. Higher fees and poor integration can slow your cashflow and create friction for your customers at checkout.
What You Get with a Low-Cost, Integrated Solution
With Rufus Design’s payment gateway and terminal service you benefit from:
Lower costs and better margins
Pay significantly less per transaction than many mainstream gateways and boost your profit from every sale.
Secure, reliable payments
Enterprise-grade security protects your sales and customer details. Modern encryption and compliance with industry standards are essential to keep your business safe.
A better checkout experience
A smooth payment process reduces abandoned baskets and improves overall conversion. That counts every time someone buys from you.
Seamless platform integration
Whether you are on WooCommerce, Shopify or other common e-commerce platforms, the gateway integrates easily, so you can start taking payments without a lengthy setup.
The Bottom Line
Choosing the right payment gateway shouldn’t be an afterthought. It directly affects how much you pay in fees, how secure your customer data is, and how smoothly the checkout works for your buyers.
With the Rufus Design solution, you are not just lowering costs with competitive rates. You are also getting support built around your business and the technology you already use.
