How to Add a Processing Fee to Credit Card Payments

This feature allows you to add a custom percentage-based fee to credit card transactions. 

Before starting, please review the important rules below.

  • Alternative Payments: You must offer customers a free alternative payment option (e.g., check, cash, ACH).
  • Applicability:
    • The fee applies only to credit card payments.
    • It cannot be applied to ACH (e-check) or debit card payments.
  • Fee Details:
    • The percentage is customizable (up to 3%).
    • The fee is automatically added to the total and shown to the customer with a disclosure message before they pay.
  • Flexibility:
    • You can manually disable the fee for any individual transaction.
    • The fee amount can be included when issuing a refund.
