Quick one for my SoCal business owners — a lot of you have been asking me about passing credit card fees to customers. Surcharging, cash discounting, dual pricing… they all do something similar, but the rules are NOT the same, and doing it wrong can get you fined.
I wrote a new blog post that breaks it all down in plain English — no sales pitch, just the straight story. Link in the comments.
