“Through the years, I accepted the fees associated to credit card processing as a cost of doing business. That was until Allegiance offered their Zero Cost Credit Program.

I was initially skeptical of surcharging customers. I had concern about losing loyalty and repeat business with our shop. But we found no resistance and very little change in buying behaviors. It’s business as usual.”
