Gil Levy is co-founder of 71P, where he helps US companies processing $10M+ a year understand and cut what they pay to accept cards.
He has seen card fees from both sides of the table. For more than 10 years he owned and ran ecommerce businesses, where processing fees, chargebacks and processor contracts came out of his own margin.
He then spent 7+ years in VP-level roles at payments fintech companies, including Splitit and SensePass, working on the provider side of the industry: how payment products are priced, sold to merchants and run day to day.
At 71P he turns that experience into plain, numbers-first guides: what each Stripe fee costs at real volume, when interchange-plus pricing pays off, and how to switch processors without losing customers or cards.
