Looking for a way to pass credit card fees on to the user for event payment and shopping cart. The customer wants the line item to show on the invoices. Has anyone implemented anything similar?
@shannonlynd I have not implemented this into the shopping cart, and you need to be very careful with this because there are a number of rules that can get you. In the U.S., you can’t add a fee to debit cards, only credit cards, and there will be no way to know what is being used. Also, in some states, it is illegal to charge credit card fees, and you can’t charge more than the credit card fee.
In my cases, again, no e-commerce here, I have encouraged my clients to adjust the price to cover the fees, or we add a flat convenience fee for purchasing online vs in-person. Either of these works will if the amounts are fixed and relatively small.
In my implementation, I have just coded in the fee and used Liquid or JavaScript to calculate the total to add to the payment form. I have added a form field for the “convenience fee” to show the data on the invoice emailed to them.
Hope that helps.
