  3. On the Payment Method pane: to exempt the Payment Method from the Surcharge, ensure that Exempt Surcharge is Enabled (set to YES).

  4. Click Save / Update to confirm.
    1. Note: When you enable Surcharge, it’s mandatory to have 2 Payment Methods available.

Credit and Debit Transactions

If a Payment Type (Credit Card, Side CC, etc.) has a Debit toggle available which is set to YES (Enabled) to indicate it’s Debit, then the Exempt Surcharge toggle will automatically be set to YES (Enabled) and will be greyed out (cannot be Disabled). Any Payment Type that is identified as Debit will ALWAYS be Exempt from Surcharge.



In POS: when selecting a Payment Type is set as Debit (and thus Exempt), the Surcharge field will always be set to $0.00. 



When the above checkbox is selected then Accept is clicked, then the Surcharge details will be provided (and only then can a Surcharge be set up). Here, a log will be captured for this change, including the Date and Time.
  1. If Cancel or Close is clicked, no log will be captured.
  2. Note: When an existing Customer use this Surcharge for the first time, the log will also apply.
  3. This will apply for all Customers and users.

The Surcharge Guide will be available, and you can view it whenever needed to understand a Surcharge. When the Guide option is clicked, the screen will navigate to another tab which shows all the Surcharge details and you can download this file.

Tip Charge for all Payment Surcharge

  1. For all the payment surcharges like Surcharge and Dual Price, the Tip Charge will be available. 
  2. Currently: the Tip Charge is only calculated for Service Charge (here the Tip Charge is calculated based on the Card Type selection).


Back Office Settings

Navigation: For your Store, select Settings > Payment Settings
  1. Under Payment Surcharge: when enabled, the options Surcharge, Service Charge and Dual Price appear.
  2. Each Surcharge type will include a Tip Percentage option.

    1. Surcharge – If payment is made via Cash there will be a cash discount - but if payment is made via Credit Card then the Discount won't be applied. Instead the service charge will be calculated (due to the extra fee when paying via Credit Card).


    2. Dual Price - The price of the menu item will be increased.

      1. Example: the actual menu item price will be $10 but is increased to $10.50 (here $0.50 will be the service charge). If a Customer pays via Cash then this $0.50 will be discounted and the price will be reduced to $10 - whereas if they pay via Card then they have to pay the whole $10.50.
