Why Surcharging?

A surcharge is a modest fee applied to a customer's credit card purchase to offset the transaction costs from the merchant's payment network. Applying a surcharge to your transactions is a method to cover credit card processing fees.

Did you know? Surcharging requirements:

Dollar Limits:

The upper limit on surcharges is 4 percent of the transaction.

Disclosure:

There should be a sign at the point of sale, added to a quote or proposal. The surcharge should not come as a last-minute surprise.

Records:

The surcharge must be printed on receipts.

Equal Treatment:

Merchants aren’t supposed to charge a surcharge on only some cards and exempt others.
