The BPAY surcharge issue needs to be addressed urgently. Can we please have either: 1. the ability to automatically pass on BPAY merchant surcharge fees to clients on invoices, just like we do with credit cards; and/or2. the abilitiy to switch off BPAY as a payment option as getting whacked for BPAY fees negates the benefit of the service. I wouldn't imagine it would be that difficult to have a tickbox option added to be able to turn off BPAY as a payment option.

Hi Celia_B Thanks for the confirmation of the issues which I am aware of - but the ability to turn off BPAY is the issue I, and many others, would like resolved ASAP. Other accounting software does not have BPAY linked with their online payment options and surely a company as experienced as MYOB should be able to get this resolved quickly. Having a check box option would still allow businesses to reatin the BPAY feature if desired, but also accommodate those businesses which have no desire to be slugged an exhorbitant fee when it isn't necessary.

So another month has passed and nothing has been done, I sense a pattern here. MYOB doesn't give a hoot about what we need. Whilst the rest of the online payment thing works quite well, the disappointment abotu BPAY continues.Payments take ages to hit our accounts, notifcations take just as long, which is totally useless if you need quick payments from your customers in a service industry.Please give us the option to turn BPAY off!!!

If only this forum wouldn't be full of these kinds of posts assuring us our input is valuable and you're working on a solution. They've become empty meaningless words and the sad thing is that your tech support is no better. Very disapointing considering MYOB used to a premier product.

I was approved and ready to start using online payments.I have disabled it after realising that:Onforwarding the costs meant "most of the costs" - 0.25cBpay was going to charge me all the feesBpay couldn't be turned offWhen they fix it, which I'm sure they will (eventually), I'll turn it back on. Also, why pay us the surcharge fees then take them out later? Could you not just keep them and pay us our invoice amount? Till then, I'll keep using square for Credit card payments.

  Hi Amanda is that for every transaction you can remove the bpay? ie if we raise the support ticket can you remove it permanently?

    Hey LCrowhurst
    
    Future functionality will give you the ability to turn on/off BPAY payments. You won't be able to remove it permanently but you'll be able to switch it off.
    
    Cheers, Amanda.

BPAY has no ability to turned off at the moment.

  Not even close as an acceptable answer. All you've done is acknowledged the grievance. Which I share.
