In some businesses, credit sales account for over 80% of their daily sales. If this is your business, you are depositing very little cash every day. And while most of us count for and reconcile the cash, are you reconciling your daily credit card deposit to the credit card batches that actually go into the bank? It seems easy and automatic, but here are a few tips and tricks we have learned over the last couple of decades installing integrated credit card systems.

Have a Safe and Happy 4th of July - from the Team at Skurla's!
During the pandemic, it is now common to see convenience fees in many industries and businesses - for grocery delivery and pickup, restaurant delivery and pickup, to help cover increased overhead costs for sanitizing and other regulation.
The other "convenience fee" that is becoming more mainstream is a fee for the convenience of using a credit card. In technical terms, it is called surcharging, but many business owners think of it as a fee passed on to the customer for the convenience of using a credit card vs paying in cash. Typical fees charged are 3.99%. On a $10 sale that translates to roughly .40 cents per transaction.
While this seems like a relatively small amount, for a business when you add that up over all your credit card transactions, now we are talking some real money. For a customer with $50,000 in monthly credit card sales, this translates into ~ $2,000 savings in credit card fees per month or $24,000 per year! Now that gets a person's attention.
