Add Fee To Credit Card Transactions

[CCSupport]

Hi,

 

We've never really done this, however we are taking some pretty large payments by credit card nowadays rather than BACS and being hit by 2.75% fees from our Merchant account. Therefore looking at a way whereby if a client decides to pay by credit card they pay the fee.

 

Is this a built-in option for WHMCS or is there some module to assist?

 

I have read ways potentially of adding a fee for a specific payment gateway, however this would then try charging a fee for a debit card too which is not required.

 

Any thoughts on this?

there will be a few gateway fee addons in the AppStore (perhaps Marketplace too), but I can't recall any that can distinguish between payment methods within the gateway, e.g take the card number and then calculate if it's a credit or debit card and apply the appropriate fee.

Thanks Brian.

 

Had some further thought on this one. What we could do is duplicate the payment gateway, calling one Debit Cards and the other Credit Cards. At least that way even though both would accept either it would differentiate which gateway name was being used in the config. Hopefully we can then find an addon which we could add the fee only to the Credit Card one.

 

I will have a search within the marketplace to see if anything is available. Thanks
