I've had Google charge me $0.01 before for firebase usage.
They really should have waited until I owed more since that cost them money.
On my personal AWS account, Im paying them 0.17 cents a month.
I wonder if they pay a fee since it's hooked into my credit card.
So is that less than a cent or is it 17 cents? If it's the former, I don't think it's even possible to make a transaction that small.
They're bigger so it's hard to know, but it's usually something like 2.9% + 10c a transaction.
At their scale though who knows
Only in us tho. I think eu has it set to percantage only.
This might've changed but 10 years ago the small shop next to my school said they wouldn't allow card payments of under 1 EUR because they'd be losing money. In Estonia
Nope. Just depends on the processor
They should almost just make it so the blaze plan of firebase or other cloud services has a $1 non refundable pre-payment so they can just whittle away at the pennies instead of getting charged processing/transaction fees on a $0.01 transaction. Tops up to $1 if it goes to $0
I think people would pay $1 to enable the paid plans. If you're going that far, you're getting $1 of use out of it.
Once a month I'd have to pay a few pennies to Google for our cloud use at a school district I worked for. It always baffled me!
