We often get asked why we don't take low value card payments (ie less than £10.00) as many customers believe that it doesn't cost retailers to process card payments.
This is incorrect, in addition to having a monthly fee for rental of the machinery we get charged per transaction, on some cards this can be as much 3% (depending on card type) .
Until last year we were able to apply a 50p surcharge to transactions lower than £10.00 if people wanted to use their card (they were always advised of this and given the choice to go get cash), but this is no longer allowed so we just don't take card payments under £10.00.
I know that 3% doesn't seem like much but if you consider that some people want to pay for a 15p keyring by card and the profit margin on something of that value is pretty low anyway our losing the transaction fee off the profit quickly adds up.
We are lucky enough to have an ATM machine right outside our door and most people are happy to go and get cash for low value transactions. ...
