【小字典】Microtransaction微交易
【1】支付成本很低的交易,目前常見於in-app purchase
【2】仍可現金交易,但其交易成本可能低於最小貨幣計價單位(如低於一分)。對賣方而言,該成本實際上不存在。
"Microtransaction" refers to buying and selling items at a low cost. The definition of "low" depends on the payment medium; some payments have transaction fees that make different minimum values inefficient.
For example, you can still buy items with cash that cost fractions of a dollar or fractions of a pound. That's because the cost of cash transactions is virtually non-existent for the seller. As a result, what is considered a "microtransaction" for cash might be fractions of a penny.
If you've ever been frustrated by minimum credit card spends, there's a reason these exist.
