Drop The Fee

06/25/2026

Can you pass credit card fees to your customers?

Yes -- but how you do it matters enormously. The wrong structure can mean fines from $50,000 to $1 million from Visa or Mastercard, or losing your merchant account entirely.

The right structure is simple, legal in all 50 states, and does not surprise your customers at checkout. Here is the plain-English legal guide: https://dropthefee.com/blog/can-i-pass-credit-card-fees-to-customers

A contractor closing 10 jobs a month at $10,000 average is paying $33,000 a year in credit card processing fees.

That is equipment. That is payroll. That is your margin.

Dual pricing is the legal, compliant way to stop it -- two prices on every estimate, customer chooses, you keep 100% either way. We break down exactly how it works for contractor payment workflows including deposits, progress billing, on-site payments, and online invoicing.

PCI DSS 4.0 is now mandatory. If your terminal hasn't been updated, act now.

Not the marketing version — the real, step-by-step mechanics from terminal setup to your bank account.

Two prices. Both visible upfront. Customer chooses. You keep 100% either way.

It's simpler than most merchants expect, and the compliance side is handled at the terminal level — not by your staff.

Most restaurants run on 3-9% profit margins. Credit card fees eat 2.5-3% of every single sale.
That math doesn't work — and most restaurant owners never challenge it.
Dual pricing is how restaurants across the country are eliminating processing fees entirely. Two prices displayed upfront, customer chooses, you keep 100% of every card sale. Legal in all 50 states. No surcharge line on the receipt. No awkward conversation at the register.
We break down exactly how it works for restaurants — including why it's different from surcharging and what implementation actually looks like at the terminal level.

We're looking for Agent Partners in markets across the US.

This is an independent contractor position — no ceiling, no boss, no territory lockout. You build what you build and you own it.

What we need: someone who can walk into a business, have a real conversation, and follow up consistently. Sales background helps. Not required.

What you get: training through our DropZone platform, full compliance documentation, CRM access, and a residual split that grows as your portfolio grows.

This is not a get-rich-quick. This is a build-something-real.

Apply at partners.dropthefee.com/apply-now

Not a lead form. Not a waitlist. A real application for a real opportunity. Takes 3 minutes. We review every one personally.

Three ways to make money with DropTheFee:

1. Go out and sell it directly. Build a residual portfolio. 60-90% split depending on volume.

2. Refer business owners you know. No selling. Earn a monthly cut of whatever they process.

3. If you're a CPA or bookkeeper — point clients toward it. Flat 25% of their monthly residual, forever.

The product sells itself once you show someone the numbers. Merchants eliminate fees entirely. It costs them nothing to switch.

The hardest part of this business isn't the pitch.

It's walking into the 28th door of the day after 27 people already told you no.

Most people can't do it. Not because they're bad at sales — because they underestimate how much daily activity this requires.

Our expectation is 20-30 door knocks every day. Minimum Monday through Thursday. Every single week.

If that sounds like too much — I respect that. This isn't for everyone.

But if you've done solar, or alarms, or car sales — if you know what it means to build a pipeline through sheer daily effort — this is the one that actually compounds.

Every merchant you close pays you every month. Forever.

It doesn't matter if you've been in sales your whole life or never sold a thing. It doesn't matter if you've tried before and it didn't work. What matters is whether you're willing to do the work.
