    People who use credit cards don’t pay the transaction fee. If the product is priced at 10 Stanly nickle they only play 10 Stanley nickle. Lot of credit cards also offer cash back so people might get 1-5% back depending on what the category for the month is.

    When it comes to transaction fees you are going to have to sell the vender on it than the consumer since they are the one paying.

      Oh you’re definitely paying the credit card fee too, but since it’s the vendor who gets billed it’s just priced into the product. That’s why the product costs 10 Stanly nickle instead of 9 Stanly nickle.

        Pay same in cash or credit. Priced in or not what the company asks for is what the consumer pays, so point being these crypto transaction arguments make no difference when it comes to fees. Like you said end retail price is already priced in.

        Company wants 10 Stanley nickles consumer is charged 10 Stanley nickles regardless of payment method.

          Depends on the vendor. There are a bunch of places around me that offer cash discounts, which I make solid use of. Lets them lower prices for you as you aren’t forcing a credit card transaction fee onto them.

          Yeah good point, they’re not discounting the credit increase for the crypto buyers. That might even be against their credit processor contract.

            There’s also the whole taxable event issue some countries have if someone buys something with crypto.
