What Is Surcharging?
Surcharging is the practice of adding a small fee to credit card transactions to help cover the cost of processing those payments. While it’s not new, many wholesale businesses in Hawaii are just now learning how powerful it can be when done right—and legally.
Important: Surcharging can only be applied to credit cards (never debit cards) and must follow strict guidelines to stay compliant. That’s where our team comes in.
Why It Works for Wholesale
Wholesale operations often deal with:
- Large orders
- Frequent credit card payments from retailers
- Thin profit margins
When you’re processing high-volume or high-value transactions, even a small percentage in fees adds up fast. Surcharging allows wholesale businesses to offset those fees without increasing product prices across the board.
