Fee configuration: surcharge certain credit cards
A surcharge is an extra fee that a business or merchant adds to the price of a purchase when a payment is made using a credit card instead of cash. The surcharge is often a percentage of the overall purchase cost and can range from 1% to 4%.
Note
Please note that surcharges are only allowed on Corporate/Company cards and cards outside of Europe.
Please see legislation Revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2), Directive (EU) 2015/2366 for further information.
PSD2 prohibits surcharging. These rules are applicable since January 2018.
