Implications for Businesses

These fees have several implications:

• Cost Management: Businesses should closely monitor transaction costs, especially when using higher-fee options like American Express or manual card entries.

To effectively manage these fees:

• Review Payment Methods: Assess the cost-effectiveness of various payment options and consider promoting those with lower fees to customers.
