Payment processing in Oklahoma.
VitaPay serves merchants in Oklahoma, as it does in every US state. Below are the Oklahoma rules and official offices worth knowing before you take your first card payment there: the surcharging rule, the sales-tax agency and where the business is registered.
Adding a credit card surcharge in Oklahoma.
Surcharges allowed with state conditionsSB 677 repealed Oklahoma's old surcharge ban (14A O.S. § 2-417) and now permits credit card surcharges. The surcharge cannot exceed the lesser of 2% of the transaction or the actual processing cost. The amount must be posted at the point of entry and point of sale, on the home page and checkout page online, or stated verbally for phone orders. A merchant that accepts only credit cards cannot surcharge.
Citation: 14A O.S. § 2-211 (as amended by SB 677, 2025; § 2-417 repealed)
General information, not legal advice. Surcharging laws change, and card network rules apply in addition to Oklahoma law. Confirm the current rule with the state or your own adviser before adding a surcharge; the sources below show when this was last read.
