This may seem like a large cost per month, but there are several factors often observed when a business adds credit card acceptance to their list of accepted payment methods.

• Not having to make cash or check deposits into a bank.
• No bounced checks.
• Increased customer spending.
• Increased tip amounts (where applicable).
• Increased amount of sales per amount of customers (conversion rate).
• Increased customer convenience / satisfaction.

If you calculate the extra time and inconvenience it takes to deposit and verify checks and cash, credit cards become the cheapest payment option available.
