Overview


Surcharges (or discounts) can be set up for different online payment methods. You may wish to recoup the charges passed on to you by various credit card merchants, for example.

Different charges can be applied to different payment types as you see fit. A common scenario might be 1.5% surcharge for Visa & Mastercard, and 3% for AMEX.
