Zero Fee Payment services were introduced after a lawsuit against credit card companies demanding fees for their processing. It was determined that it is legal to pass those fees on to the customer, saving your business those fees as well. However, this also came with things you should know about as well. Use this quick FAQ Guide to determine whether Zero Fee Payment services are right for your business:
Q: How does surcharging work?
A: When you run a credit card through a payment terminal you are paying a fee to cover that payment. Typically this fee can be upwards of 3%. However, with Zero Fee processing, or surcharging, you can pass on that fee to the customer automatically. Therefore, the cost of sale is a little more to the customer but you have reduced your cost of doing business.
Q: Can I do this anywhere?
A: There are a few locations that do not allow surcharging. Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Puerto Rico are among those locations that do not
Q. Are there other costs?
A: Yes. Something to be mindful of is even though you are surcharging the cost, there are other applicable fees generally used to still process payments depending on the banking institution you use for your business. There are also fees for convienance, PCU Compliance, and Equipment Fees you might or might not already be paying. Enterprise Payment Systems will help you figure those out and save you as much as we can!
Q: Do I have to let the customers know?
A: Yes. Whenever you participate in Zero Fee or Surcharging fees you have to have signage to let the customer know. You can price the items differently to make it easier for the customer but signage is important for the business to have in order to take part in Zero Fee Payment Processing.
Q: Is there a limit to the surcharge?
A: Yes there is a limit that is set on the surcharge you can set.
Q: What should I be careful of?
A: Point of Sale systems that offer pre-programmed software for surcharging. A lot of times these are propriety systems and cannot be controlled by you. Enterprise Payment Systems can help you navigate these and get you the best system for your service!
