Apply Checkout Fee

  • Last Updated: March 10, 2021
  • Compatible Version: 8.305

Retailers, restaurants and other businesses can implement a checkout fee to help with business expenditures, maintain exceptional service, and provide competitive prices. With Exatouch Point of Sale, a checkout fee can be applied automatically as a set dollar amount or percent on a customer’s total purchase.

  • Update: Customer Service Fee is now Checkout Fee. This change complies with major card brand requirements.

To implement a checkout fee, define the amount and enable in your Register app.  The amount charged is applied to the customer’s total purchase, and must be enabled for all tender types.

  • Note: Checkout fees can be used with or without tender type discounts, including cash discounts.

  • See: Enable Checkout Fees.
