Add card processing surcharge fees

Sage Pay merchants may choose to add on supplemental card processing surcharge fees based on the shoppers chosen payment currency and payment method, such as Visa, MasterCard and American Express.

Set surcharges based of specific card types for different payment types or even for different payment types from the same provider, such as a MasterCard credit card having no surcharge but MasterCard credit card having a surcharge fee.

 


The shopper will be given a break-down of applicable surcharge fees associated with each card payment type at the point they are choosing which card to pay with.

  • Shopper has opportunity to choose the best way for them that minimises any additional payment surcharge fees
  • Merchant has a way to pass on higher card processing fees associated with certain payment methods to avoid card processing fees eating into their profit margin


The surcharge amount added at Sage Pay is received back into your ShopIntegrator Order Manager which automatically updates the original order details stored by the shopping cart software.

  • Printable order invoice shows surcharge fee and amended total order value
  • Order completed email receipts sent to the shopper include the surcharge fee amount and the amended total order cost
