Configure Credit Card Transaction Surcharge
Payment processors typically charge a fee commonly known as a "swipe fee" per transaction. Campus Cafe may be configured to add a surcharge to a payment. The surcharge may be a percentage of the total amount or a fixed additional fee. The surcharge will be the same regardless of the credit card brand (e.g Amex, MasterCard, etc.) used. The surcharge will not appear on the student's ledger.
