Tip: Select REFUND in Step 3 (below) to trigger a fee when a refund transaction is processed. You can set up a refund trigger in addition to the authorization trigger.

Additional Resources

Note: Creating a transaction fee uses a two-part fee setup that involves the creation of multiple fees:

  1. Set up a flat rate fee for all credit card authorizations.

  2. Set up a percentage fee for credit card captures.

This model most closely resembles industry-standard payment processing fees: Flat Fee + % of the transaction total.
