Our system automatically detects card type and applies the surcharge with zero manual input from your team.
Payment flow: an employee clicks Pay in CDK Drive. The customer inserts, swipes, or taps their card on the Ingenico terminal. The system automatically detects whether the card is credit or debit. On the credit path, a clear 3% fee is disclosed and the customer taps Accept. On the debit path, no fee is applied and the transaction continues normally. Either path then auto-posts the payment to the repair order in CDK Drive.

When a customer pays with a credit card, our terminal automatically displays a 3% service fee and asks for acceptance. This is fully compliant with Visa, Mastercard, and state regulations. Debit, prepaid, and gift cards are never surcharged. You pay 1.05% on those.
Surcharging is legal in 47 states (all except Connecticut, Maine, and Massachusetts). See the full state by state surcharge laws table. We handle all compliance requirements including required signage and receipt disclosures.
