FAQ

Pricing questions, answered

Your total processing fees divided by your total card volume for the month. It is the single best number for comparing what you really pay, because it includes every fee on your statement.

What you pay depends on your industry, card mix, average ticket, and how you take payments. We quote from your actual statement so the number is real, not a teaser rate.

No. Connecticut, Massachusetts and Maine (and Puerto Rico) don't allow businesses to surcharge credit cards, and other states, such as Colorado and New York, add caps or disclosure rules. California's Honest Pricing Law generally requires mandatory fees to be included in the advertised price. Card brands cap surcharges (Visa at 3% or your cost, whichever is lower), and debit and prepaid cards can't be surcharged at all. A cash discount program is a separate option that can work in these states when it's properly disclosed. Rules change often, so we confirm what applies in your state before setting anything up.

Clear signage and receipts explain it, and most customers are used to seeing it. We help you set it up so it is transparent and simple at checkout.
