Receive Payments: Automatically apply admin fee to payment

e.g. if $100 is received that a line would be added that will calculate a percentage fee and charge to a specific account, ie. "Admin Fee" ... a bit like how GST is applied seamlessly.

 

"Apply a fee to receivables automatically ..."

    It would be great if we could increase  the percentage on sales to allow for the merchant fee to be allowed.

     

    eg. Sales =102 % merchant fee -2% 

     

    as the merchant fee is always the same percentage.

      I think what could work well is if you have the ability to show a set of extra 'Total' lines with the explaination that if the paid by a credit card, paypal, bitcoin etc. that the following surcharges will be applied. The % and flat additions should come from a text field that is set in each payment method. The payment method needs a calculator mechanism to let the invoicing know how to adjust the total for each payment method (e.g. for Paypal it would be the Total inc GST x 1.024 + 0.30).

       

      Then...

       

      When we accept the payment we select the payment method that the customer used. This should do the nessesary allocations on our end and then prompt us to email or print a revised invoice to the customer for their tax records to show the amount that they actually paid for the goods/service. This revised invoice does not need to show the other payment options, only the one that they actually used.

       

      P.S. given it has been 'under consideration' for a while now I think we need to see some action.
