I am indifferent when it comes to payments of check and debit/credit cards. I do prefer one of those over cash, just because I don't have to make a trip to the bank since we do checks by mobile deposit and only do 1 - 3 jobs a day. I have the CC fees built into my pricing, so that is a non-issue for us. I will add that when the job gets to be in the $850+ range, we do prefer checks but right now, with us, those are only about 5% of our jobs.
MOST of my clients like the convenience of credit cards and they get to earn their miles or points. I still have some older clientele that are check only. :)
Wowee! Sounds like you've found a great balance between convenience for you and your clients. Building the credit card fees into your pricing is a smart move—makes things smoother for everyone. Also a good reminder to everyone that passing along credit fees is legal in most states but not all!
And it’s definitely nice when clients use credit cards for those points or miles! 📈A note on credit card fees: it is legal in every state to build it into your prices. Noone can punish you for including it in your costs/expenses as a general pricing feature when figuring your costs per job.
Where it gets to be illegal is to straight up charge a fee for running a credit/debit card On top of the service/items being purchased.
You can have a minimum charge (ex: convenience stores won't take a card for a purchase below $25) which is far as I know is legal in every state.
Unless laws have changed in the recent past, this is what I found out when researching how to handle credit/debit fees.
