Massachusetts Lawmakers Advanced a Proposal for Credit Card Fee Surcharges.
What businesses should know.
Massachusetts lawmakers are considering legislation that would allow businesses to pass credit card processing fees directly to customers as a surcharge. The proposal aims to provide relief to small businesses facing rising operating costs, while also increasing transparency around payment expenses. Should this bill pass, Massachusetts would align with most other states in allowing businesses to charge credit card surcharges to customers.
What this means for merchants:
If approved, this could give Massachusetts businesses more flexibility in managing processing costs, making it more important than ever to understand compliant surcharge and cash discounting options.
