We Built a Dashboard for Merchants to Track and Optimize Payment Fees
Hello HN Viewers, So this all started when we got super frustrated trying to figure out payment fees. You know how it goes – you have got a bunch of payment providers, each with their own fee reports, and trying to make sense of all that mess is quite challenging and complex. We thought, why not just build something that pulls all those fee reports together, cleans them up, and makes them actually understandable?

Hello HN Viewers, So this all started when we got super frustrated trying to figure out payment fees. You know how it goes – you have got a bunch of payment providers, each with their own fee reports, and trying to make sense of all that mess is quite challenging and complex. We thought, why not just build something that pulls all those fee reports together, cleans them up, and makes them actually understandable? So we built a tool that pulls in fee reports from multiple providers, standardizes fee names, and makes it easier to understand all fee types. You can drill down to see the exact cost for each payment type, detect any unusual charges, and even simulate the impact of upcoming card fee changes. Imagine you're getting hit with some surprise cross-border fees, or being charged for a service you didn’t even use – this tool makes it super clear when that happens. The tool is still evolving – right now, it supports major providers fee report formats We’re actively refining it and adding more providers based on user feedback. We have created a demo of this tool using mocked sample data, allowing you to explore and get a clear idea of how it works. Wanna check it out? Here’s the link: https://hypersense.io Would be cool to hear what you think – what sucks, what works, and what you’d change. Thanks for reading!
