Paytabs Finops

FinOps view of PayTabs spend. Unlike metered API providers, PayTabs cost is driven by payment-acceptance economics: a per-transaction merchant discount rate (percentage, sometimes plus a fixed fee) that varies by region, card scheme and negotiated volume, optional setup/annual fees, plus operational costs from refunds, chargebacks and currency conversion. Settlement currency and rate depend on the region host and acquiring setup.
