Set up and manage Surcharge

Learn how to set up a surcharge that you can add to the customer’s total bill on the Eats365 POS or on the Merchant Portal.

Surcharge settings allow you to automatically add extra fees to an order or payment. This can be used to cover increased costs during holidays or  higher transaction fees associated with certain payment methods. A surcharge can be added to the total bill on top of taxes and service charges.

In this article, you’ll learn about the types of surcharges that you can create, and how to set up a surcharge on the Eats365 POS or the Merchant Portal. 

Surcharge types

There are two types of surcharge that you can create: 

  • Order Surcharge - refers to the additional charge added to the Order Total. This type of surcharge is commonly applied during holidays.
  • Payment Surcharge - refers to the additional charge applied to specific payment methods only. For example, you can impose this payment surcharge if a specific payment method has a higher transaction fee.
