How do I add Cc Fee to customer invoice?

@leakpetroleumequ, you might want to read the article below concerning restrictions on charging a fee.

http://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/business-surcharge-card-customers-1585.php

When we have a percentage to charge against several items, , we have to enter "subtotal" first (which we added to our item list in quickbooks.  and then do the fee and it will take all line items into effect not just the last item.

A Discount Item and an Other Charge Type item set as a % (for discount or markup purposes) are "items that Calculate" and they compute on what is above them.

Example:

List an item and then a Discount item = you discounted that one item. List an item and a Markup Other Charge item, and you marked up that one item.

So, if you want more than this, you list what applies, then you Subtotal. Now your Calculating item will compute on the item above it, which is that Subtotal.

And you can Subtotal your Subtotals. Like this example:

Lists Items to sell that are going to be discounted, pretend this is 3 things @ $100 each

Use a Subtotal. This shows $300

Use Discount, such as 10%. Now you see negative $30

Use Subtotal. You see $270.

Add another charge; example, shipping for $100

Use Subtotal. You see $100 (the only one item above it is the Shipping).

Use another Subtotal. This Subtotals = $370

this example subtracts $30 from the total.  I want to add a surcharge, not subtract.

Is there a way to do that?

Hello there, mmartinuzzi.

Welcome to the Community. I'm here to provide additional information on your question about adding a surcharge.

You can create a subtotal item to apply a surcharge to all or selected items on an invoice. This item totals all the previous items within an invoice.

Here's how:

1. Click the Lists tab at the top menu bar.
2. Click Item List.
3. Click the drop-down arrow next to Item and select New.
4. Below Type, select Subtotal.
5. Enter a name for the subtotal.
6. Enter a description to show on invoice or sales receipt.
7. Click OK.

Please feel free to post any questions you have below. The Community is always here to help out.

I want to add a surcharge, not subtract.

It's in this topic, already:

"Example:

So, if you want more than this, you list what applies, then you Subtotal. Now your Calculating item will compute on the item above it, which is that Subtotal."

Thanks for the quick response.  I had tried that, with the subtotal, but if I chose an Other Charge item it still only calculating it on the last item.  If I choose a sales tax item and try to fake it that way, with a fake sales tax agency, then if I have a sale that includes both taxable and non taxable, it only calculates the charge on either/or.  

Seems like I can only get it to work for all taxable sale or all non taxable sale with the Sales Tax type of charge.

I don't see "columns to total" on my subtotal screen. It stops at Description.

Hello there, mmartinuzzi.

Thanks for getting back. Allow me to clear this up for you.

If you're unable to see the Columns to Total on your subtotal screen, you might be using the QuickBooks Desktop Pro. This function is not available in the Pro version.

If you wish to have this feature, you can upgrade or convert your company file to a new QuickBooks Desktop version.

If you need assistance with this, feel free to reach out to our QuickBooks Care Team. They'll be able to guide you through the whole process.

Here's how to reach them:

1. Go to: https://help.quickbooks.intuit.com/en_US/contact.
2. Choose your QuickBooks Product.
3. Select your QuickBooks version.
4. On the Contact Us page, click a topic.

What version is it available in?  I have all available to me, I am a ProAdvisor.  I was using, just an FYI, the QB Desktop Accountants 2018.

Hi, @mmartinuzzi.

Thanks for getting back to us here in the Community. Allow me to step in for a moment and share some information about the Columns to total when creating a Subtotal item in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

The option to have columns total, like in the screenshot provided by @AlcaeusF, is only available in QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise 2015 and later. You can also check out this article and scroll down to Item types for more information: Add, edit, and delete items.

If you wish for this option to be added in QBDT Accountants 2018, I encourage you to submit feedback. These requests and suggestions are forwarded to the Product Development Team for consideration in future updates. This will help them know how this option makes your QuickBooks experience smoother.

Here's how:

1. At the top menu bar, go to Help and pick Send Feedback Online.
2. Enter your request/product suggestion, then click Next.
3. Choose Skip and send a message and select Feedback as the Category.

That should answer your concern for today. Please know that I'm only a post away if you have any additional questions or concerns. Have a wonderful day.

For this: "I had tried that, with the subtotal, but if I chose an Other Charge item it still only calculating it on the last item"

It's like this:

Charge item

Charge item

Charge item

SUBTOTAL

Then, Other Charge Item, set for % = Mark UP that subtotal value. Set for negative percent = Mark Down that subtotal value. Both of these calculate to give you an Amount on that line = the amount to be added or subtracted.

Set for a Value, positive or negative, = add or subtract this.

Can you send me the attachment show the subtotal item, please. [email address removed]

That should keep you going today, Katerqueen. I'm still here to help you more if you have other item questions. Just drop a comment below. Have a good one.

Thank you. I have figured it out and it works great!

Hello again, @Katerqueen.

You're very welcome. Please remember I'm here anytime you have additional questions or concerns with QuickBooks Desktop. Wishing you all the best!

All of this is only helpful if you have an invoice going to a customer that you KNOW is going to pay with a CC.  In my case, I send them the invoice, and they have the option of paying cash, card or check.  I can’t arbitrarily add a CC line item if I don’t know what they are paying with in advance, unless I contact each customer and ask them - hey, how are you paying for this?  Oh, with a card?  Then let me send you a new invoice with a surcharge on it.  Won’t fly.  Help?
