At least in Germany, it’s legal to deny cash payment if you make it clear before the transaction. If you post signs at the entrance which can’t be missed, you can exclusively accept card payment. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that in practice though.
- rbanffy 2y agoThe norm in Germany has been to pay cash since I remember, and their acceptance of cards was always low. Did that change recently?
- echoangle 2y agoNo, cash is still very common and smaller stores still often don’t accept cards. I was just saying that it would be legal to only accept cards if you wanted to.
- manuelmoreale 2y agoInteresting. So in Italy you can’t refuse cash unless there are very specific conditions. Putting up a sign that says no cash ain’t gonna cut it. Plus here the opposite is often true: not being able to pay with card because the reader is “broken” so that you’re forced to use cash, they don’t have to pay the transaction fee and more often than not they can also don’t make you a receipt.
