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
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!
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.
