Add Fees to Suggested Tips

Deduct Fees from Tips

Merchants can deduct credit and debit fees from tips when participating in the Dual Pricing program. When processing payment, this will deduct the percentage in the Amount field from the employee tip payout, regardless if the customer is paying by cash, credit card, or debit card.

See Deduct Fees from Tips/Add Fees to Suggested Tips in the Exatouch Knowledge Base for more information.

         NOTE: Prior to Release 8.367, processing fees for non-cash payments used to display on the Other line in the Register payment pane. Processing fees now display in the Credit (remaining balance) field.

When printing customer checks, the following rules apply:

• The Total line reflects the amount due for non-cash payments, such as credit or debit cards.
• The Pay With Cash line reflects the amount due when paying by cash.
  

Credit card processing fees are reflected in the Business Overview and Settlement reports. Fees are reported as “Daily Discounts,” which are estimates of daily credit card processing fees collected by the merchant.

Business Overview Report

On the Business Overview report, processing fees are reported under the Credit Card Transactions section on the Less Daily Disc line. Fees collected display as a negative number (e.g., –$6.38) and are not included in a merchant’s daily deposits. The Less Daily Disc value is a calculated amount derived from a defined percentage setting within Exatouch.

The Less Daily Discount value represents the fees collected by the merchant. Note that there are two types of rates applied to these fees: the applied rate and the effective rate.

• The applied rate is a calculation of fees before the processing activity has been batched, settled, and handled by the network.
• The effective rate is the statement of fees after the processing activity has been batched, settled, and handled by the network.

Merchants should review their credit card statements for exact fee amounts.

NOTE: Business Overview report data also displays on the Snapshot Report. See Business Overview Reports and Snapshot and Station Snapshot Reports for more information.

NOTE: As of Release 8.367, credit card processing fees are no longer reported on the Admin Fee line of the Business Overview report.

Settlement Report

Processing fees are also reflected on the Less Daily Discount line of the Settlement report.

As with the Business Overview report, the Less Daily Discount value on the Settlement report represents an estimate of fees collected by the merchant. Merchants should review their credit card statements for exact fee amounts. See Settlement Report for more information.
