On KOLA the fan pays the fee and card processing at checkout, shown before they pay as Taxes & fees, with each amount a tap away, so neither comes out of your ticket price. No setup or monthly cost to you. Totals are before any sales tax.
Posh states its fee all-in, card processing included. The buyer pays it on top of your price unless you choose to absorb it.
