Surcharge is just a euphemism for an added charge.

The companies that supply merchants with the capacity to accept credit or debit cards for payment also extract a percentage of those transactions as their own revenue. Therefore, merchants make less when customers pay by card. Some merchants may attempt to pass this cost on to the customer.
