METHOD 5: Surcharging
- Processing fees are charged to Consumer during transaction, as an addition to the purchase. This is done as a fixed fee and offsets the cost of the credit card processing fees.
- A portion of the difference between the fixed fee and the actual processing cost is donated to charity.
- If for example the fixed fee is 4% and the base cost of a card a customer uses is only 2.2%, a portion of the difference (1.8%) goes to the Charity.
- Promotional Opportunity: Merchants may claim, “A % of every transaction goes to ____ Charity.”
- Benefit to Merchant: The merchant does not pay any credit card processing fees. Free credit card processing.
