For Fairs with auctions, credit card fees can be a burdensome expense item, but more and more buyers prefer using credit cards instead of checks or cash. Transferring the credit card fees to the purchaser allows the Fair to offer that convenience, without incurring additional expense. Only purchasers who choose to use credit cards will be charged the fee.
Important notes:
Your buyers will need to have a login account in order to pay by credit card. There is not an option for managers to enter credit card information for them, for security reasons.
Because of rounding, a customer's credit card fee may occasionally be a penny more or less than the actual fees deducted by Stripe from the payment.
