You can set up surcharges for different payment types to automatically apply at the Till, calculated as a percentage of the transaction total.
By configuring a surcharge on payment types that incur a cost to your store, such as credit cards, you can pass those costs on to your customers if you wish.
The surcharges for each card type can be easily managed from the Credit Card Maintenance screen.
Warning Australian law prohibits excessive surcharges, such as charging the customer more than the applicable cost charged to you. Further information can be found on the ACCC website. It is your decision whether to apply surcharges, and to choose the percentage value. These surcharges are configurable, and Minfos does not apply any payment surcharges by default. Minfos takes no responsibility for the percentage entered and costs passed on to your customers.
From the Till module:
- In the Maintenance tab, select 2. Credit Card Maintenance.
- Select the Card to apply the surcharge, e.g. Visa Card.
- Select Change.
- In the Credit Card Editing screen, check the Apply Surcharge checkbox.
The Surcharge % field is enabled. - In the Surcharge % field, enter the surcharge value including the decimal e.g., 1.25.
- Click Okay to save.
Note If you have applied a surcharge to EFTPOS, this will also be reflected in the EFTPOS payment screen.
