| GlossGenius pricing page (official) vendor | Tap, dip or swipe: 2.4% + $0.15; online invoicing 2.9% + $0.30; card-on-file/online/keyed 3.4% + $0.15 | 2026-11-10 |

Resolved: the vendor figure stands. The vendor’s own payments-rates page and comparison page both state 2.4% + $0.15; the pricing page renders the in-person rate as a JS placeholder in a text fetch, but the online rate (2.9% + $0.30) confirms in text. Codersy’s 2.6% is not repeated on any vendor page.
