Others have already mentioned that the credit card surcharge is something that the customer has control over. But in regards to the other fees:

A lot of companies already do this. As long as those fees are mentioned somewhere before purchasing, it's legal here:

California banned all these surprise fees, and then the restaurant industry got their own exemption:
