Your Brewery Is Overpaying for Credit Card Processing


Listen Later

Credit card processing fees can eat away at your brewery's profits, but expert Patrick MacLellan from Merchant Cost Consulting shows how you can save an average of 20% on these costs without changing your current processor or disrupting operations.

Summary
• 3 main fee components: interchange charges from card brands, processor markups, and miscellaneous fees
• Why most businesses are overpaying – processing statements are deliberately confusing and contracts often allow price changes without notice
• How processors typically adjust pricing three times per year, slowly increasing your costs
• The truth about POS systems that bundle processing with their software solutions
• How to identify bogus fees like non-PCI compliance charges that can be eliminated
• Pros and cons of customer surcharges and how to implement them legally
• Contract considerations including early termination fees and auto-renewals
