I wonder if there is an opportunity there.  If you have a merchant account that 
charges less than the taxing entity, then there is an arbitrage opportunity for 
a middleman.

credit/debit card

Tax and tuition payments are two of the things exempt from being unable to 
assess a charge purely for CC usage. Unfortunately.

  Uhh then why is it my electric bill can get away with a ~$15 card processing 
fee?  As will all of the court houses for traffic tickets.

    Darin,

    Not a lawyer, but be careful - I'm pretty sure it's against most of the CC 
issuer policies to do this.

      Hey all,

      If some of you with Powercode would be interested in this feature, can 
you please vote for it on the feature request link below?

      Basically, this feature would automatically apply a fixed or percentage 
based fee to the bill for all credit or debit card payments. It would also warn 
the customer of this charge before they setup auto pay or submit manual 
payment. We would continue to allow ACH or eCheck withdrawal for free but 
charge for customers to use credit/debit payment method as those costs are 2-4% 
of the total customer bill, which we don't want to eat the cost of.

      Please vote for this feature if you think you might be even a little 
interested in this so it is available when you are.

      Thank you
