With Tyro’s Dynamic Surcharging1, you can apply a surcharge to most card transactions with ease and confidence.
Surcharging is an amount charged to the customer, in addition to the price paid for goods or services, for accepting card payments. Enabling surcharging allows businesses to recover part of the cost of accepting card payments. The Tyro Portal calculates a cost of acceptance for each card and helps businesses stay within regulatory guidelines for surcharging.
