After 28 yrs I have had enough... I get charged EVERYWHERE an extra 3% when I pay for services and products so I will now add this to my own products and services.  

Is there a simple way to do that Tim?  Add 3% of total sale if paying with CC ?

Card fees are a cost of doing business.

if you've had enough, put up your prices by 3%

There is not an option to add a credit card surcharge at this time.

I agree with Paul, and think this is an avoidable cost of doing business.

Credit card fees are extortionate because they've enjoyed anonymity, more and more companies are lifting the veil by passing the additional cost along. When I as a customer experience this, I simply switch to debit and avoid the cost all together (knowing I'll lose out on my 1% cashback).

I think this is a great suggestion with the only loser being the credit card companies. 

Make sure you add it to the feature requests so its not lost!

I know the rest of the world think the EU is bonkers, but charging more for card is illegal throughout Europe.

Can fully understand why you would want to though.

Many parts of the world (including the EU, UK and Australia) have capped interchange fees to 1.4%, which in part offsets other bonkers legislation.

I'm based in Canada and I get charged about 2.60% per CC transaction as opposed to $0.10 per transaction if they pay via debit. 

As of Oct 2022, Canadian businesses can pass along 2.4% to the customer, which is still a cost, but at least I'm not directly and entirely funding someones CC loyalty account.

It would have to be done at the payment processor level. Because if you were to add a 3% fee lets say, you would still loose a percentage because it's not separated at this point. So in other words the payment processor would have to agree not to charge you on that 3% fee you charged your customer. Up your prices just a tad to compensate.
