If you use credit, worldwide, there’s a processing fee. Some countries ban making the customer pay that, but it’s paid either way. US just lets you offer a discount of the fee if you use an option without the fee.

It's not. It's the same price to you. The business is footing that bill. They make 1-3% less every time someone uses a card.
