If the 3.5% is too high for the consumer, then they can use their debit card for Zero fees. It's the consumer's choice.

I understand your concern. This is the best legal way for a merchant to eliminate their credit card fees forever, while providing the consumer a choice whether they pay a surcharge (using a credit card) or not (using a debit card). I realize that this solution is not for everybody, but it does provide a way for the merchant to keep more money and provide the consumer a choice rather than a mandate.

Loma Solutions represents a 0% credit card fee solution. We have 1000's of customers in the US and our solution makes auto shop owners thousands of extra dollars every year.
How does 0% processing work?
When your customer decides to pay with a card, they have 2 options. If they use a credit card, a small percentage of the transaction will be charged to their card. If they use a debit card, there will be no fee to the customer. Our software does all the work and explains to the customer of their choice prior to the card being authorized.
What exactly are the costs to the merchant and to the customer?
For credit cards: Merchant pays zero credit card fees, the customer pays 3.5% of the transaction
For debit cards: Merchant pays 1% + $0.25/authorization, the customer pays 0 fees
Facts:
- A card swiper is not needed: credit card information can be typed in a phone, computer or over the phone. There is a 'brick' card swiper if needed*
- No set-up costs or any other fees
- Our agreement is month-to-month
- If you auto batch by 8:00 PM EST, you get your money the next day
- The solution complies with all card rules and regulations
- We'll have you up-and-running within a week
Benefits to the Merchant:
*** You are being fair to your customer by offering them a choice to pay a fee or not, while you are eliminating your credit card fees, which can be up to 2.5% of your total card sales.
- Simple to use and all charges are viewable through our real-time online portal.
- Support: our team is there when you need us. We will show you and anyone on your team how to use the solution, but it’s very straight forward.
Making you more money!
If your current credit card fees are 2.5% of your total card sales, for every $50,000 in credit card transactions, you'll put an extra $1,250 in your pocket.
* we will provide you with a ‘brick’ terminal: $35/month if needed. This includes free paper re-supplies.

Hey NATURE, those do sound like pretty good rates. When we took over our shop about 4 yrs ago, we looked around a bit as well and came to find Elevon to be pretty reasonable and they are running on average about 2% - 2.1% per month. It seems as though CC Processing companies are getting a little more competitive now days and I have been recently seeing rates in the range you are describing. I have been pondering switching myself after seeing I paid about $4k in processing fees last year. More of that in my pocket would be a good thing!

Hey everyone. I'm planning on opening in about 3 weeks and am looking for a credit card processing company. Are there any geared for our type of business? Does anyone recommend Intuit for it's ease of integration with Quickbooks? I'll be doing around $10,000 a month in CC payments averaging $200.00 per RO. Payments are predominately Visa or Mastercard swiped. A very small percentage of Amex, Discover or over the phone. If there is a company name that a lot of you experienced members would recommend, I would like to hear it.

Up to a couple of months ago, we would ask each customer debit or credit. If they ran a debit, they put i their pin and there wasn't a signature line. If it ran it as a credit, they didn't have to put their pin in and they would sign. Why you ask if this such a big deal. It means about 400.00 more a month. A debit card no matter the amount of the sale, it was .25 if it was run as a credit it is a percentage such as 1.78% - 2.5% I have been on the phone to Key Bank and to 1st Data, emails and etc. Nobody knows anything about what could have happened except to say that is the way Visa wants it. I have said do you suppose there will be a class action. Just one more way to make money for our credit card charges. According to the people in charge nobody else has this problem but me. Funny thing Saturday I was at the plant store and I have a Visa Credit Card and it asked me debit or credit.

Sorry for the confusion. Total fees will never be lower than around 1.80% as you have to pay the mandatory interchange fee. The .05% we're talking about is the fee the processor charges on top of the interchange. I'm not sure if naming the company I'm now using breaks any forum rules but I wouldn't yet anyway. I haven't been using them a month yet and we'll see if reality stacks up to the sales pitch.

Does anyone recommend Intuit for it's ease of integration with Quickbooks? I'll be doing around $10,000 a month in CC payments averaging $200.00 per RO. Payments are predominately Visa or Mastercard swiped. A very small percentage of Amex, Discover or over the phone. If there is a company name that a lot of you experienced members would recommend, I would like to hear it.
Hi,
My company just became a sponsor on AutoShopOwner. I just read your prior post and thought I'd reach out. My company, Loma Solutions, represents a 0% credit card fee solution. We have 1000's of customers in the US and our solution makes auto shop owners thousands of extra dollars every year.
How does 0% processing work?
When your customer decides to pay with a card, they have 2 options. If they use a credit card, a small percentage of the transaction will be charged to their card. If they use a debit card, there will be no fee to the customer. Our software does all the work and explains to the customer of their choice prior to the card being authorized.
What exactly are the costs to the merchant and to the customer?
For credit cards: Merchant pays zero credit card fees, the customer pays 3.5%
For debit cards: Merchant pays 1% + $0.25/authorization, the customer pays 0 fees
Facts:
- A card swiper is not needed: credit card information can be typed in a phone or computer or over the phone. There is a 'brick' card swiper if needed*
- No set-up costs or any other fees
- Our agreement is month-to-month
- If you auto batch by 8:00 PM EST, you get your money the next day
- The solution complies with all card rules and regulations
- We'll have you up-and-running within a week
Benefits to the Merchant:
*** You are being fair to your customer by offering them a choice to pay a fee or not, while you are eliminating your credit card fees, which can be up to 2.5% of your total card sales.
- Simple to use and all charges are viewable through our real-time online portal.
- Support: our team is there when you need us. We will show you and anyone on your team how to use the solution, but it’s very straight forward.
Making you more money!
If your current credit card fees are 2.5% of your total card sales, for every $50,000 in credit card transactions, you'll put an extra $1,250 in your pocket.
* we will provide you with a ‘brick’ terminal: $35/month if needed. This includes free paper re-supplies.
Is there a good time that you like to speak on a call? Please let me know when works best. -

Accept Credit Cards at 0% cost

Accepting Credit Cards at 0% cost
Credit card fees for merchants have drastically gone up in recent years, especially for reward card purchases, making credit card fees one of businesses largest expenses. Interchange fees for reward cards have gone up by 24% in a recent 4-year period. The highest reward card fees to a merchant are now around 3% of the transaction total (not including what the markup from whomever sold you their credit card processing). Many people have probably seen Samuel L. Jackson TV commercials promoting Capital One’s Quick Silver credit card, paraquoting, “The Quick Silver credit card will give you 1.5% cash back on all of your purchases.” Who do you think is actually giving these customers 1.5% of their cash back on their credit card purchases? You guessed it- you, the merchant.
What’s a business owner to do?
All of these options have their pluses and minuses, but with the ever higher and higher fees credit cards are charging to merchants, there are other methods where technology and consumer choice can help mitigate these fees.
0% credit card cost is relatively new legal method of accepting card payments in the US. The credit card companies fought to not allow consumers a choice to pay a surcharge with credit card or zero fees with a debit card. The credit card companies make much less money with a debit card opposed to a credit card... This case went all the way to the US Supreme Court this decade. The credit card companies lost and consumers being able to choose to pay a surcharge with a credit card or zero fees with a debit card is now legal in 45 states. The remainder of the 5 states will likely be joining the other 45 states in the near future as there are still ongoing court proceedings.
The US is now following the Australian model which has been allowing merchants to surcharge since 2003. Currently, 42% of all merchants in Australia pass on a surcharge to customers who use a credit card.
Here’s an option that you might not know about, until now:
When your consumer decides to pay with a card, they have two options. If they use a credit card, a small fee will be charged to their card. If they use a debit card, there will be no fee to the consumer. Our software does all the work and explains to the customer of their choice prior to the charge being authorized.

A card swiper is not needed: credit card information can be typed in a phone, computer over the phone and in-person. A 'brick' card swiper/dipper is available if needed.
