Campground Commander chose Basys Processing for credit card processing for a number of reasons. Basys, like Campground Commander is family owned and managed and they provide our customers with exceptional rates, next day payouts and live customer service available 24/7. Their Clover POS product are easy to use and set up. Working together with Basys to provide our customers the optimal service, Basys offers our customers a choice of 2 deliveries for charging for their rates:

Monthly Fees + a percentage of all transactions that go through their system.
Surcharging (Least Expensive) – This is a flat rate pricing program to our merchants. The rate is 3.89% and there are no Monthly Fees or per item fees. This fee will be passed onto your camper customers as a “Surcharge Fee” during the payment process and the Surcharge Fee will go directly to Basys so you don’t have to pay Basys a thing to use their systems. This allows processing charges to be FREE to the campground. (Note- It is illegal at this time to surcharge on transactions paid with a debit card.) Anything swiped or chip reac on a terminal cannot be surcharged. Any reservation paid online or any transaction manually keyed can use the surcharge feature. With surcharging, your customers will not be assessed any fees from Basys except for debit transactions and Card Present transactions.
Note: Currently, several states have laws that prohibit or limit surcharging, including, Colorado (prohibition effective through 30 June 2022), Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, and Oklahoma.
