Important Update Regarding New York Credit Card Surcharge Guidance.
To Our Valued Merchants,
As of February 11, 2024, there is new guidance for New York State businesses when charging an additional fee to customers paying with a credit card.
What Does This Mean for New York Merchants?
A business has the option of passing along the actual cost of credit card processing fees as a surcharge to customers, but they must be transparent by displaying the highest total price (excluding sales tax).
