Reclaim Your Peak Season Margins

In the RV and Marine industries, you deal with high-ticket transactions. Whether it’s a major engine repair, a year of dockage, or a down payment on a luxury fifth-wheel, a 3% processing fee on a $5,000 or $10,000 swipe is a massive hit to your margin. Slash monthly processing costs by 20 to 90%.

By modernizing how you handle credit card transactions, you can slash your monthly processing costs by 20% to 90%. > Look at the math: If your dealership or marina processes $200,000 in card payments during a busy July, you’re currently handing over roughly $6,000 to credit card processing fees. By shifting that cost, that $6,000 stays in your business. That’s a new technician’s salary, a lot of upgrades, or pure bottom-line profit.

Why “Busy Season” is the Perfect Time to Switch

Many owners worry about how a change in payment policy will be received, but the data shows that the busy season is actually the easiest time to transition.

• The “Convenience” Mindset: During the summer rush, customers value speed and convenience. They are used to seeing service fees in travel, hospitality, and fuel.
• Volume Dilutes Resistance: When your shop is the only one in town that can get a boat back on the water before the holiday weekend, your value is at an all-time high.
• Instant Impact: There is no better feeling than seeing a mid-summer processing statement where your profit margins are protected because your credit card overhead has been shifted away from your bottom line.

We Make Compliance Worry-Free

One of the biggest hurdles for business owners is the fear of “doing it wrong.” Between card brand rules and state-specific laws, it can feel like a minefield.

That’s where Gravity comes in: The “good” way to surcharge; the only way we recommend, is through an automated, surcharging-enabled payment gateway. Our modern technology does the heavy lifting for you

• Card Detection: The system instantly detects if the customer inserted a credit card or a debit card. If it’s a debit card, no fee is added, ensuring 100% compliance.
• Precise Calculation: It automatically calculates the correct, compliant surcharge rate based on the credit card used.
• Receipt Itemization: It prints the required separate line item on the customer’s receipt without your staff doing a thing.
