(b) The clerk may contract with a bank or credit card vendor for acceptance of bank or credit cards. Subject to subsection (d), if there is a vendor transaction charge or discount fee, whether billed to the clerk or charged directly to the clerk's account, the clerk shall collect a fee from the person using the bank card or credit card.
