You can show the full price and the breakdown at the same time. That’s how it works eg in the Airbnb app: I see the price host charges and the fee I pay to Airbnb. The taxi apps show their fee as well.

That doesn't work in a brick and mortar store where they wouldn't know your card's fee until you go to pay.

Also doesn't work online if you're not signed in, or if it's the first time you've visited that store and you haven't given them a card number yet.

but they would know how much tax the customer would have to pay.
