Most processors charge 2.9–3.5% + $0.30 per transaction. Snack Jar helps merchants explore compliant pricing strategies — like transparent service fees or menu adjustments — that may help offset some of these costs.
Snack Jar does not eliminate processing costs and does not guarantee specific savings. Any pricing strategy is implemented in accordance with applicable state and federal law.
