FAQ
How can I lower my merchant fees?
There are various ways to lower merchant fees, including negotiating a fee reduction with your credit card processor and taking steps to reduce your risk for credit card fraud. With Citcon, merchant fees are already competitively priced. Plus, there’s no fee charged on top of domestic MDR for digital wallet cross-border payment transactions.
What is a merchant discount fee?
The merchant discount fee (also referred to simply as a “discount fee”) is the fee a merchant pays for the processing of debit and credit card payments. The fee varies among processors and types of payment, but it’s usually between 1 and 3%.
Is it legal to charge merchant fees?
Passing on the merchant fees to a customer is legal in most, but not all, states. This is done by merchants adding a credit card surcharge to the purchase. However, most merchants tend to absorb the fees that come with processing a debit or credit card payment.
