What is Surcharging?
Surcharging is the practice of adding a small fee to a customer’s payment to help cover the costs of card processing. It’s beneficial for the merchant because it helps offset the expenses associated with processing card transactions, allowing them to maintain profitability and provide convenient payment options to their customers.
