Make a positive impact in your community!
Small merchants may not have massive profit margins, but they play vital roles, like supporting local sports teams and serving as community pillars. Let's reciprocate that support. We urge you to contribute to your local merchants by choosing ZAP for your transactions
Credit cards are expensive. Credit cards come at a price. Are you aware that processing credit or debit card payments can burden merchants with fees that climb into the double digits? Consider this: that $1.00 bottle of water, when paid for with a credit card, could incur a cost of $0.38 for a small merchant. This amounts to a substantial 38% of their revenue paid to the credit card company. Even with a debit card, the cost can range from $0.25 to $0.50, translating to a direct loss on the sale for the merchant.
Saving money is essential to sustain these businesses. We can't speak for you, but the thought of our cherished local Thai restaurant closing its doors is heart-wrenching. You can make a difference by reducing their expenses and contributing to their longevity.
Why not opt for cash? Well, there are a few compelling reasons. The first is quite evident: germs. None of us desire those unwanted guests, including your beloved merchant. Secondly, handling cash incurs costs for merchants. As it happens, banks must pay fees to move their cash offsite to the Federal Reserve, and these expenses trickle down to local businesses."
