Debit cards with the CardX surcharge program (in person)1.25%Stax (opens in a new tab) · Vendor website · Applies with the CardX surcharge program: debit can't be surcharged, so Stax charges you this rate on consumer debit cards. CardX says debit pricing varies by processor platform: on some, commercial debit costs 2.91%, and keyed-in debit on the CardX terminal doesn't get this rate. Without the program, debit is priced like any card (interchange plus 8¢ in person), in our calculator too.per transaction · In person · regulated debit and exempt debit

Paid by your customers

With this program your customers pay the card cost on the cards it covers, so those cost your restaurant $0 in our estimate. A surcharge only covers credit cards: your restaurant still pays the vendor's rate on debit. We show what your customers pay apart and never add it to your cost. Card network rules and state laws apply, and some states limit surcharges.
