Configuring Multiple Service Charges

You can configure the SPI to allow payment service providers to post more than one service charge to a check prior to processing the payment. Charitable donations and credit card transaction fees are common service charges that apply to this feature.

  1. Select the property, click Configuration, and then click Service Charges.
  2. Create service charge records for charitable donations and/or credit card transaction fees.

    Because the Payment Service Provider (PSP) sets the donation and/or fee amount, the service charge must be configured as Open (Option 1 in Service Charge configuration).

    Charitable donations are only permitted to be non-revenue service charges. Credit Card transaction fees can be either non-revenue or revenue service charges.

  3. Click Save.
  4. In the Configuration tab of Tender Parameters, set the Donation Service Charge and CC Surcharge Service Charge fields to the corresponding records created in Step 2.
  5. Click Save.
  6. In the Options tab of Control Parameters, enable the following options (as needed):
    • 75 - Enable Charity Donations Support

    • 76 - Enable a Surcharge to be added to a payment card tender by payment service provider

  7. Click Save.
