Q: I run a business where I offer a service to clients. Some pay in cash and others pay by card. The bank charges me a commission for every transaction processed through the card machine which cuts into my service fees. Am I allowed to charge a base fee of eg. R5 for any clients that wish to use the card payment option to offset this commission charge?
A: Yes, it is permissible. You should inform each customer before the transaction that you will be charging him a R5 fee for using the card machine.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
