Checkout Fees give you the flexibility to design a fee that’s right for your business. Set checkout fees as a percentage of an order total, or a specific flat dollar amount. If you employ cash or other tender type discounts, you can continue using them in conjunction with a checkout fee. Here are a few scenarios to help you visualize and design your perfect checkout fee and tender type discount combination.
