Payment Type Surcharges & Discounts

Top  Previous  Next

The following section will help you to determine any/all surcharges and discounts based on a payment type.

 

Within Auction Flex, click on the Miscellaneous drop-down menu and choose Maintain Settings & Options.

 

In your Settings & Options Maintenance, click on the 'Payment Types' Tab.

 

Settings&Options_PaymentTypes

 

From here you can Add or Delete payment types using the controls to the left of the grid.  You may also Disable a particular payment type by toggling the check box under the rightmost 'Disabled' column.  You may choose whether you wish to charge the surcharge/discount to the buyer or consignor (all examples will assume the buyer is charged).

 

To apply a surcharge for a particular payment type enter the percentage under the Sur/Disc Rate on the appropriate row (i.e. a 3.00% for Visa will now apply a three percent surcharge on a Visa-payer's invoice, a -3.00% for Cash will give a three percent discount on a Cash-payer's invoice).
The 'S/D Rate Applied To:' column simply determines what the surcharge or discount will be applied to.

 

SD_Rate_Applications

 

The next columns determine if the surcharge or discount is taxable or not.

 

Now we see the final outcome when placing a 3.00% surcharge on Visa purchases:
