• Says "Thank You" - Shows appreciation for customer understanding
• Gives customers choice - They can decide whether to pay the fee or use cash

Legal & Fair Trading:

In Australia, businesses are allowed to pass on card payment processing fees to customers, provided:

• The fee is clearly disclosed before purchase
• The fee doesn't exceed the actual cost of processing
• Customers are informed upfront (which this sign does!)

This sign helps you comply with fair trading requirements by clearly communicating fees before customers make a purchase.

The Reality of Card Processing Fees:

Credit and debit card processing typically costs businesses:

• 1.5% - 3% per transaction for credit cards
• 0.5% - 1% per transaction for debit cards
• Monthly terminal rental or equipment costs
• Statement fees and other charges

By being transparent about these fees, you give customers the choice to help your business save money by paying cash.

Customer Understanding:

Most customers understand that small businesses face costs when accepting card payments. By being upfront about the processing fee, you:

• Show honesty and transparency
• Give customers informed choice
• Avoid surprises at checkout
• Build trust through clear communication
• Encourage cash payments without forcing them

Professional Communication:

The inclusion of "Thank You" at the end shows appreciation and maintains a positive, friendly tone. You're not demanding cash or hiding fees - you're being transparent and thanking customers for their understanding and cooperation.

Strategic Placement:

Display this sign prominently at:

• Store entrance or front window - gives customers advance notice
• Checkout counter or register area - reminder before payment
• Market stall front - visible from a distance
• Service desk or reception - clear communication upfront
• Menu boards or ordering areas - before customers order

Encourages Cash Payments:

When customers know there's a processing fee for cards, many will choose to pay cash to avoid the extra charge. This helps you:

• Reduce overall card processing fees
• Improve cash flow
• Keep more of your hard-earned revenue
• Simplify accounting

Important Information:

⚠️ DO NOT DRILL - Drilling may damage the material. Use the included wire or adhesive mounting options only. We can pre-drill holes for you - just request when ordering.
