A client called, asking me about the extra merchant charges they pay when clients pay by credit cards, and are there ways for adding credit card charges to client invoices? There are a number of ways to deal with it depending on the type of layout you use.
- First, are there only specific customers who pay by credit card? If so, you could create a second invoice template and add the cc charge into it, then use the correct template to each customer
- Or, you could add the surcharge into your standard template (say after a subtotal) but then you'd have to credit back the surcharge if the customer paid using another method. Or have a message at the bottom to ignore the charge if not paying by credit card.
- Another option is to create a large, bold text message box stating there is a surcharge for credit card payments and then show an example calculation after the text which would work out a set percentage of their invoice and actually show the amount that is extra.
