Accepting Credit Cards

Posted by [email protected] on Jan. 29, 2026  /   1

Because the cost of accepting credit cards in payment of fees can be exorbitant, we are reviewing our policy. Some of the changes we're considering are:

1.) Remove the credit card payment info from our invoices.

2.) Implement a maximum credit card payment amount per invoice. i.e. $10,000.

3.) Pass along the credit card fees to clients such as many restaurants are doing.

4.) Push unreimbursed credit card fees to the related matter and write off (similar to ebilling fees)r.  Please let me know your thoughts on these options and how credit card fees are handled in your office.

Thank you in advance.

    Our firm passes along the fee. The client knows what the fee will be before they process the payment. ACH is free for them, but credit cards have a fee -- Barbara Herbert [email protected]
