Fill in the configuration fields:

- Enter Disables Groups - comma separated client group IDs that should not have gateway fees added
- Recalculate gateway fee on partial payments - when enabled module will adjust/recalculate fee on partial payments
- Don't fee subscribed invoices - when enabled module will not add fee to invoice containing items that are subscribed for fixed amount - ie through PayPal
- Use custom fee line - when non-empty module will use this line instead of gateway name. This field can use language tags.
- Show fee % on invoice item - when enabled and fee type is set to %, the module will add it to the to invoice item description
- Gateway fee during checkout - when enabled, gateway fee calculations based on the cart's total will be displayed during checkout
To further configure the module go to Extras → Plugins → Gateway Charges
Here you can setup custom fees for each gateway activated in your system. The fees can either be a percentage value, calculated from the total price or fixed amount. The fees will be added to the client invoice:
- Percent is added to the invoice based on the total amount of the invoice
- Amount is added to the invoice
For example:
Percent = 3% Amount = $ 0.40 USD Invoice total = $ 7.00 USD
Final Invoice Total = ( 7.00 * 3% ) + 0.40 = $ 7.61 USD
