Invoice Simple Payments gives you the ability to have your customers cover the processing fees that are charged by PayPal and Stripe.
In the image below, you can see how adding surcharges to your invoice means you keep 100% of your profits.
How can I use the Payment Processing Fees feature to keep 100% of my profits?
Invoice Simples offers you two ways to do this. To learn more about the fees from different payment methods, see the fee breakdown for PayPal and Stripe.
Add surcharge when invoice paid online: A convenience fee is added only when your customer pays using Invoice Simple Payments. The surcharge is applied automatically at checkout when your customer pays with credit card, debit card, bank transfer, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or PayPal. If they choose to pay offline, the surcharge is not applied on the invoice.
Mark-up all items: A fee of your choice is distributed across all invoice items. This method is not conditional to your customer paying online or offline and you can select the mark-up that you would like to add. Your customer will not see that a fee has been added on their invoice or when they pay.
What does the invoice look like with added fees?
To see what your customers see, switch to the “preview” tab when you are editing an invoice.
When surcharge is enabled, customers will see the surcharge fee automatically added at checkout. It will not be visible on their invoice. Your invoice preview will look like the image below:
When markup is enabled, customers will not see any fees added. Instead, the fees are evenly distributed across your invoice items.
