Credit Card Surcharge Rates
Previous  Top  Next


Some malls pass the surcharges charged by the credit card companies back to their dealers. The surcharge rate can be set from 0.0 to 99.9 inclusive, independently, for each of the cards shown.  

The value is used by the reporting routines to compute the surcharge and subtract it from the net sales. This value is treated as a percentage (i.e., enter 10% as 10.0 not 0.1).  

noteThe value is recorded in each sales record. Therefore, if the surcharge is 4% in January and changed to 4.5% in February, a report run in March would compute surcharges for January sales at 4% and February and March sales at 4.5%.  
 
The credit card surcharge is computed on the full amount of the sale (i.e., total non-taxable + total taxable + sales tax). For example if the credit card surcharge is set to 5% and an item for $20 @ 5% sales tax is sold the surcharge would be $1.05 (5% of $21.00).
