What is surcharging?
Instead of your business footing the bill on credit card acceptance, the customer pays a surcharge.
Â
Credit card surcharging only occurs with credit card payments, not debit cards, cash, digital payments, or gift cards. The fee is added at the point of sale, and items are priced without reflection of the surcharge.
What is cash discounting?
Cash discounting is when you offer a discount to customers that pay in cash or a cash equivalent, like a check, gift card, or gift certificate.
Â
To do this you increase your standard price based on the cost of card acceptance, and customers paying with credit and with debit cards will pay the full price. Discount is applied at the point of sale.
Know the Compliance Rules
