I don't know exactly how the rules work, but you can set your retail
price to whatever you want. I think you can't, at the till or checkout,
add a surcharge for using a credit card, but you can certainly pass the
cost along to the consumer.

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.
