How can I reduce recurring payment fees in Malaysia?

Hello all Gurus here!

I am starting my new store with Shopify and I am selling in Malaysia.

As I am just starting out, I need to be very careful to spend all my single cents.

After my research, I noticed the only way to activate Recurring Payment with Shopify for Malaysian is via Stripe + 3rd party Shopify App (must be Stripe partners): PayWhirl or ReCharge.

The fees per transaction are huge!! more than 8%…

either:

  • Shopify (transaction charges 2%) + Stripe (3% + RM1) + PayWhirl (3% for Free Plan)

or

  • Shopify (transaction charges 2%) + Stripe (3% + RM1) + ReCharge (transaction charges 1% + U$60 monthly)

That really cost me too many fees for a new startup like mine.

Is there a cheaper way for me to work around it??

Appreciate all the replies.

Thank you.
