Surcharge Program
Save 40-60% on your processing costs.
The Surcharge Program is perfect for business owners who want to accept multiple payment methods without the hassle of worrying about what their processing bill will be each month. Business owners save money on the cost of accepting credit cards by passing on a fee to customers that pay with a credit card and maintaining the same pricing for customers that pay with cash or a debit card.

Accept Credit Cards
When customers pay with a credit card, they also cover the fee. At the time of purchase, VizyPay informs the customer of the fee amount and always gives the option to pay with a no-fee method. You receive 100% of the amount of your sale. As the business owner, you have the option to accept AMEX with a cap of 3% on credit transactions.

Accept Debit Cards
Customers that choose to pay with a debit card or cash pay no fee. Business owners are responsible for swiped debit transactions at the cost of 1.5% + $0.25 per transaction (no service fee added). VizyPay provides a terminal that automatically determines the customer's card type and won't charge a fee on debit cards.

FAQ
What is a surcharge?
A surcharge is a fee imposed upon the customer during a credit card transaction that covers the cost to accept the payment method. The POS system or terminal automatically detects when a customer is paying with a credit card and imposes the surcharge on that transaction type only.
How will I know if the Surcharge Program is right for my business?
The Surcharge program is great for businesses that don’t want to include all processing fees into their menu pricing, but still want to share some of the costs to accept cards with their customers. Business owners have the flexibility to add a credit card fee to a consumer’s bill when he or she uses a card for payment, but that fee is removed if they use cash and/or a debit card.
My business’s menu and pricing change frequently. Will this program still be beneficial for my business?
Since business owners aren’t required to include all of the processing fees into their displayed pricing, the Surcharge program is perfect for business owners that frequently update or modify their menus. It’s also beneficial for businesses that may operate with pricing limitations on goods or services.
I’ve never accepted credit cards at my business, but want to offer my customers the option to pay with a card. How can the Surcharge program help?
Operating on the Surcharge program gives business owners flexibility to save on processing fees by passing on a fee to customers that pay with a credit card, and maintaining the same pricing for customers that pay with cash or a Debit card. This empowers businesses to offer multiple methods of payment for consumers and begin accepting cards without shouldering the cost of acceptance.
I want to save on processing fees, but I don’t know if it’s right to pass on all of the fees to my customer. Can this program help me?
The Surcharge program is perfect for business owners looking to share some of the cost of credit card acceptance with their customers via a surcharge, as opposed to increasing pricing across all menu items. Customers receive multiple payment method choices and will still receive the benefits of using their credit card at your business.
I want to save 100% on my business’s cost to accept cards. Can this program help me do that?
