    Checks work for situations where you know and trust the customer, and can do things like have their CC on file. Less so for situations like casual retail or trade shows.

    I thought credit card processing agreements tend to forbid charging an extra fee for using a credit card. Maybe that’s changed, idk.

      See my edit, and you are very far behind. Years ago VISA and MC (at least) specifically made it legal to pass along fees. A short internet search should confirm this for you.

              Sorry you take offense. I just didn’t provide a fully comprehensive reply, and don’t need someone who just learned about this to educate me on the subject.

                It’s more for the benefit of anyone else reading who may be interested. I’m sure you know what you’re doing. I haven’t used traditional credit card services in a while (I ran a retail store and art business 2000-2012 or so).

                  So then you probably should have indicated that so I was aware of your intention, and either way your last reply wasn’t needed.

                    My original comment said “Maybe that’s changed, idk.” Clearly this entire conversation wasn’t needed.
