You could say, if you want to pay a credit card, here's a fee to use that credit card.
I think in California, you can offer a cash discount, but you can't offer a fee or you can't require a fee for using a credit card.
Now,
Some stores might do that, even though it might not be within the rules and those rules might change.
But I would say a lot of gas stations near where we are say, here's the cash price, here's the credit card price.
And so I think that is happening.
But at the end of the day, I think retailers understand that
if you make it harder for a consumer to purchase, you might lose the transaction in its entirety.
And so I talked to my brother-in-law who owns a tire shop, and he was like, I could charge a fee.
But at the end of the day, I don't want to turn people off because that 2% or 3% is not as important to my business as happy customers coming in and making their purchases and their transactions easy and smooth.
Every merchant can choose how they want to operate.
And if you had really, really high priced items, maybe you would say, you know, the fee is really meaningful, so we would charge it.
I know a lot of car dealerships will let you put your down payment on a credit card, but maybe only up to $1,000.
And so if you were buying a $50,000 car, you probably wouldn't be able to put that entire amount on your credit card because it would be quite expensive for them relative to the margins they have on that vehicle.
I think ultimately they need to set up a relationship with a payment processor that supports all of them.
And a lot of the online payment processors just make it really easy.
They just out of the box support everything.
But I imagine there are some legacy ones that maybe are more in store in person that just don't have it.
So they would have to call and set up a new relationship and figure that out.
And so they just never did it.
