"PIN debit transactions are a flat cost say $0.35. Signature debit is a % of the sale amount say 1.50%. So it can be cheaper to the merchant for small sales if treated like a credit card. Large sales would be cheaper as a PIN transaction. In this case a $10 sale is cheaper to the merchant as a "credit card" sale than PIN debit sale."
