This is to reduce the cost paid by wholesalers (hereinafter referred to as merchants).

In this way, credit card fees that currently cannot be lowered to less than 1.5% at each card company can be drastically lowered to 1% or less in consideration of merchant compensation.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is classified into a specific group for each business type of the merchant, and the sales transaction for a certain period of transaction history with the merchant through a purchase-only card issued to the buyer or retailer in the intermediary terminal It manages the details by data and only writes down the credit cost incurred during the above period, but the credit cost that is not incurred is to be compensated for the credit cost by a group or a group designated by a specific group.
