Charging a Service Fee for Credit/Debit Card purchases under a Minimum Total

Site URL: https://www.gillettecamels.com

I know how to require a minimum order amount before Point of Sale checkout, but I really need a solution for credit/debit cards specifically.

My client runs a concession stand and if someone buys a $1.00 candy bar and wants to pay with a card, the processing fees eat a lot of that. 

Is there any other option to add a service fee for card purchases that are below a minimum amount... say $10?

There isn't a specific feature for this. 

Most POS merchants simple explain that they don't accept card payments below a certain threshold, and that seems to work. Does that not work for them?

It's just a little complicated when they use high school volunteers at the point of sale... will students remember that rule and/or enforce it?

We were hoping for a built-in feature.

It's complicated why you can't. One reason is that you can't add a surcharge to Visa and Mastercard debit cards. It's also illegal in some states in the USA.
