Nope. They are just passing on the fee that MC/Visa/Amex etc charge the business
We’ll, I used to own a business (been out of it a few years, tho) and it was a law back then that you couldn’t “penalize” customers who paid by card by adding upcharges to cover the bank fees.
So, instead, I would offer “incentives” to customers to pay with cash.
Laws could have changed since then…?♀️
Just add the charges into the price and then everyone pays it regardless of whether they are paying by card or not.
Ah, ok...Prolly varies by state too? I'm in WA, we don't even have to line item that, just verbally inform
It's part of the agreement a merchant signs when they accept a major credit card. So it's not "illegal" to do the surcharge, but it's against the terms of accepting the card as payment and the merchant can lose the ability to accept that card as a form of payment.
