Thanks to our partner Promotive

Credit card fees are eating into shop owners' profits — but should you be passing those costs onto customers? In this episode of Business By The Numbers, Hunt revisits the hot-button topic and shares what’s changed since 2021.

Key Points:

  • Why more shops are experimenting with credit card surcharges today
  • Real-world results from shops that do charge fees — and those that don’t
  • The hidden dangers of incentivizing cash payments
  • How pricing strategy impacts customer loyalty and shop profitability
  • Hunt’s no-BS recommendation for handling credit card costs in 2025
