Thanks to our partner Promotive
Credit card fees are eating into shop owners’ profits — but should you be passing those costs onto customers? In this episode of Business By The Numbers, Hunt revisits the hot-button topic and shares what’s changed since 2021.
Key Points:
- Why more shops are experimenting with credit card surcharges today
- Real-world results from shops that do charge fees — and those that don’t
- The hidden dangers of incentivizing cash payments
- How pricing strategy impacts customer loyalty and shop profitability
