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.

  2. Select the agreement the surcharge(s) will apply to.

    If more surcharges are added, it will form a hierarchy where:

    • rule #1 will be tried first,

    • then rule #2, and so on.

    Use the arrows to move a surcharge up or down in the hierarchy

The surcharge will now be visible at the top of the list on the Fee Configuration screen.
