From Wichita and Overland Park to Kansas City, Topeka and Olathe, Kansas changed its surcharge law in 2025, and a lot of what is written online is now out of date. We show you exactly what you pay and set it up to the current rule. No contracts, no cancellation fees.
Since January 1, 2025, Kansas law (K.S.A. 16a-2-403) allows a credit card surcharge if the merchant discloses the amount in a clear and conspicuous notice at the point of entry or the point of sale, before the transaction. Kansas sets no state percentage cap, so the card-brand cap of about 3 percent applies.
Kansas used to ban surcharges outright, and a federal court held that ban unconstitutional as applied to one processor in 2021. The 2025 law replaced it with the notice rule. Many surcharge guides still list Kansas as a ban state because they copy an old table, so check the date on anything you read.
Kansas has no specific guidance on card surcharges. Under its general rule that retail sales are taxable unless exempt, a surcharge on a taxable sale appears to be part of the taxable price.
We post the surcharge amount where Kansas requires it and keep it within the card-brand cap, or set up Dual Pricing instead. Either way, it follows the current law, not the old ban.
Check any state in our surcharge checker. Rules change, so we confirm the current position before configuring anything. This is general information, not legal advice.
