Additional Notes

For Fee Type: It's recommended to use “Add as Sales Receipts” if an accounting software is connected

For Amount: Only percentage is available

For Account Name: This will only appear if an accounting software is connected. You can edit this name in your accounting software. If the name is updated and the mode is set to surcharging, the name will remain as “Surcharge” when viewed by your customers

Once configured, you need to activate for selected or all customers - see below for details


The purpose of technology fees is to offset or recover your merchant service expenses. You will collect additional revenue through technology fees to help cover the expense of your processing fees
