I can help you setup and add a convenience fee to your invoices, thines009.
In some cases, your business can charge customers a convenience fee for using a credit card, but there are rules, exceptions and state laws to ensure that you stay compliant with the terms of your merchant processing agreement.
If your state supports charging convenience fees, you can add another line item for the fee. Then, you can add note to invoice about the fee like it is only applicable for those clients who are paying via credit card.
Heres's how to create a service fee item:
- Go to the Sales menu and select Products and services.
- Select New and then click Service.
- Give the fee a name such as Convienience fee.
- Fill out the rest of the fields.Then, select Save and close.
After that you can add this item to existing or new invoices. Before you save and send it to your customers, enter a note about the fee under the Message on invoice field. If you want that the message on invoice be permanent, you can edit the invoice template.
Let me show you how:
- At the upper-right, click the gear icon and select Custom form styles.
- Click New style at the upper-right or click Edit for existing invoice template.
- Select the Content tab and at the right portion of the screen select the footer section.
- Enter the note under the Message to customer on field.
- Click Done.
