Surcharging (Merchants)

When the merchant notifies us that they would like to start surcharging their customers:

  • Email the merchant the “Surcharging” email template in Salesforce, so they can read over the rules and requirements regarding surcharging. They are also required to sign the “Surcharge Notice”. (The “Surcharge Notice” is the merchant’s signed consent for us to register them in the surcharging program on their behalf.)
  • Once we receive the customer’s signed “Surcharge Notice”, we will register them in the surcharging program by notifying Visa, Mastercard and FAPS by going to the following websites:

**(NOTE: FAPS doesn’t send out an email confirmation that they received notification of the merchant’s plans to begin surcharging. We’ll have to call FAPS Agent Support to confirm.)**

  • They will need to wait 30 days before they can begin surcharging, but the file build for surcharging can be requested with FAPS prior to the 30 days waiting period. (NOTE: The only terminal that supports surcharging is a Verifone VX520)
  • After the 30 days, call the DAC (Download Assistance Center) at: (844) 876-4077 to download the surcharging file to the merchant’s VX520 terminal.
