Fee Percentage: This is what percentage of the grand total of an order will be applied as a fee when processing a credit card payment.

Credit Card Surcharge on the Take Order Page

Once Credit Card Surcharge has been set up you can begin to use the Surcharge on your Take Order page.

The Credit Card surcharge can be applied to credit card payments from the Take Payment popup, if the payment method is Credit Card - Stripe.

When you enter a card number, Stripe will determine if the card is a Credit Card, Debit Card or Prepaid Gift Card (like a Visa Gift Card).

The fee will automatically be enabled if a Credit Card is detected. You can disable the fee at any point before completing the order.

Note: The fee cannot be enabled if a Debit or Prepaid Gift card is detected.

If enabled, the Credit Card Surcharge on an order the Order Amount will automatically update to include the fee value in the Order Amount. Disabling the checkbox will also automatically update the Order Amount value to remove the fee value.

Credit Card Surcharge on the Website

Customers paying with Credit Card on the Website checkout will be assigned a Surcharge on the Review step of the checkout.

Up until the Review step, they will see that their Surcharge is "Not yet calculated". This is in case of any changes to the order total, or in case the customer cannot be charged a surcharge.

Customers may not be surcharged if they are paying with a Debit or Prepaid Gift Card. (Please

Customers may not be surcharged if they are paying using Google Pay or Apple Pay. When paying with either of these methods, their payment type cannot be determined before completing the order and therefore a surcharge cannot be displayed to the customer ahead of completing the payment.
