I have just restarted my business after 25 years. Back then all my sales were cash. Now I am going to do credit cards as well. Do most artists work the cost of transaction fees into their price or do you charge customers a transaction fee at time of sale?

We factor the processing fees into our pricing and include the expense in our budgeting. Consumers, including me, react badly to any additional fees for what is a routine method of payment.
I cringe when I know my mechanic or some other business is adding on 3% for my paying with credit card for miles and accounting records. I think it is better to just add 5% into your pricing to cover it and then nobody is the wiser.
