Merchants are not allowed to add a surcharge for using a credit card.
The credit card folks won't allow it. They want you to spread the cost
over all your customers so it isn't so obvious to consumers how much the
service actually costs.
It is a gray area whether you can apply a cash, or "no credit card"
discount. (Basically a work around for not charging for the credit card
use.)

Jukka, nice to see posts from you, after a long time !
I don't understand why the credit card fees are a problem. Why can't
they be built into the cost to the customer, like everywhere else that
uses credit cards ?
Here, in the US, I believe merchants get charged roughly 2% for credit
card processing. (It varies a bit by risk, volume, and other factors.)
That isn't so much to add onto the end-user cost.
