Sorry, it is illegal in some states to charge a surcharge for taking credit cards. 10 states outlaw it altogether and there are requirements in other states that you have to meet in order to do it. The 10 states are Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oklahoma, and Texas.
