Allow option where transaction fees can be baked back into ticket pricing same as eventbrite does. all you need to do is check a box in eventbrite and the ticket shows a service fee that is automatically calculated so if tickets are 20/ticket customer pays it and organization still collects 20$/ticket.

Has this been implemented yet?

The same field would also be useful for al types of payments - membership, events, etc.

Create a field option for donor to cover the processing fee for a donation.

These transaction fees are a significant issue for Not for Profit organisations. Wild Apricot can make a significant difference by allowing them to be added to the invoiced amount.

When a member is selecting "online payment" please allow for the Organization set up the membership level to include or not include the 2.9% processing fee for the online transactions. This would be helpful for the Wild Apricot Payment System or any other online payment option such as PayPal.

I supports this suggestion 100%. We would appreciate the option to adding a convenience fee to our members that wish to process payment by using a CC.

My fellow customers.... what's being defined here is call "surcharging" in the credit card processing industry. To charge your end-user or not to charge them has been an ongoing battle for 10+ years. Initially, MasterCard and Visa fought it, and lost in court. The states then picked up the fight.... most created legislation to approve, a handful disapproved it. There are currently 11 states (including Puerto Rico) that are fighting it. New York recently fell, and it's the belief that CA and FL are right behind them. The rest of the states will cave when those lawsuits are settled. Because of the lawsuits, many card processors will not allow surcharging. PayPal is one of them. But the card processor Wild Apricot uses, does allow it, albeit reluctantly. Apricot, because of a lack of demand from their customers, does not have it as a priority to incorporate into their code-base. So the technology is there... Apricot can do it... but you'll need to scream and get other customers screaming with you to get this moved up in development priority for them. For most all online merchants, (you), card processing fees are an enormous expense. But as we are all mostly non-profits, most end-users (your members) agree that's an acceptable practice to recover those costs. Actually, both MC and Visa have done studies, and to their surprise, found it doesn't inhibit sales... if it's kept within reason. Regardless, most states that allow it, have capped it at no more than 4% of the sale.

So if you want this, bring it on and let Apricot know!!

Our members are singing up for events that generally cost $50 to $60 and we charge them what we have to pay. When they sign up and pay online we need for a convenience fee to be added to the payment amount. We are just trying to break even on costs.

Make is a processing/handling fee.

I also need the ability to add a convenience fee to invoices. For example, I need to charge a convenience fee to an invoice if a member wants to pay online instead of by cash or check.

I need the ability to add additional fees to invoices. For example, I need to charge a convenience fee to an invoice if a buyer/member tries to pay online instead of by cash or check.

You cannot call these fees a surcharge but if you call them an online handling fee, that will allow you to add the fee.

I agree that this would be a great feature and I can't stress how much I'd like to see it added!

Hi Admin, whilst the individual credit company may have rules against this feature, is it a legal requirement?

Should they want to cancel my account as a result, It would be an issue I should have to work through, not Wild Apricot.

I'll just find another merchant that wants to work with me :)

Passing on credit card fees is allowed in Australia (although the charge must be no more than the fee charged by the bank/cc company) - we would seek that online payments be subject to a surcharge - particularly the PayPal fee.

Please add a button which allows our members to optionally add a [3%] fee to their bill to help our club defray the credit card processing costs.

A 3.5% fee would cover Stripe fees. Many organizations, including government organizations (even electric companies) charge online service fees for using a credit card.

It would appear that since others can do this, it could be done with WA as well.

If a person checked, I will pay online (with a small explanation that a 3.5% payment processing fee will be added), then this amount could be charged to the invoice.

Please design this feature.

Our association supports this suggestion. We would appreciate the option to adding a convenience fee to our members that wish to process payment by using a CC.
We were referred to use Stripe as our payment processor. They mentioned building the fee into the cost of our event/item. However, we would rather attach a percentage 'fee' of some kind to the purchase as a whole.
Please advise.

I agree with this suggestion 100%. Currently we only take payments by cheque or bank transfer. We are unable to offer online payments because of the transaction fees. If we could automatically apply a fee to all online invoice payments the problem would be solved. This must be an issue for lots of WA users.

Our non-profit club has voted to allow on-line credit card payments (via Stripe) based on the condition that the member be charged a "convenience fee" that covers (more or less) the credit card processing charges from Stripe. In other words, if a member chooses to pay online, their invoice would need to be changed (programmatically, based on this selection) to include this extra fee.
