However, with new tools, like PayJunction’s No-Code Payment Integration, merchants interested in surcharging no longer need to worry about time consuming manual surcharging. Instead, merchants can set up surcharging with PayJunction, and start saving on credit card payments by integrating surcharging in just a few minutes. There are many rules and regulations that merchants who are considering surcharging should take into account.
