escapism Eliminates Credit Card Fees for Customers
WELLINGTON, New Zealand – Escapism, a New Zealand retailer specializing inโ games, puzzles, and hobby products, has โขannounced the immediateโฃ removal of โขsurcharges appliedโค to customers using credit cards for in-store purchases. The change, โฃeffective today, aims to provide a more transparent and convenient shopping experience, according to the company.
Previously, Escapism levied a surcharge on credit โcard transactions to offset processing fees. The decision to absorb theseโฃ costs represents a shift towards simplified pricing and enhanced customer service. This move impacts all shoppers at Escapism’s physical stores nationwide, eliminating an additional fee that previously added to the total cost of purchases.
The elimination of credit card surcharges comes asโ consumers increasingly favor cashless payment methods. By removing โขthe surcharge, Escapism aligns itself with a growing trend among retailers to offer seamless and inclusiveโ paymentโ options. The company stated the change isโข intended to create a more โคpositiveโ and straightforwardโข experience for all customers, regardless of their โpreferred payment method.
Escapism operates multiple stores across New Zealand and also maintains a significant online โคpresence. The change applies solely to in-store transactions; online purchases may still be subject to different payment processing terms. Further details can be found on the company’sโค website.
