The first is regarding refusal to pay via POS, which is a fine of 30 euroWhile the second is related to the consideration that is not paid digitally. This means that a merchant who refuses to pay by card will have to pay a 4% increase in the fine over the value of the sales of the service, with a fine of €30 plus 4% of the rejected payment.
