Charging Customers for Using Credit Cards - Sage Line 50


One for the members who have a better understanding of Sage L50 than me.smile

I have a client who charges customers a nominal fee for paying by credit card.  Is there an easier way of dealing with this than creating a service code and applying that?  I can't see that there is, but I know you have the option for delivery fees, and can't help but think that what they want to do isn't that unusual.


Thanks for any suggestions.

Anyone any thoughts? As my client said, imagine other people are doing it. Problem for me is that none of my Sage clients are, they tend to accommodate the charge in their prices rather than having it as an additional extra.

Hi Nick

I have tried researching on Ask Sage and had no luck.

Plenty of ways to deduct a discount from an invoice but could not find any simple way of adding a surcharge.

Does seem strange that it can't be done. I would have thought there were several occassions when it would be necessary to add a surcharge to an invoice.

Maybe it is possible to create some sort of negative discount

I have found an article on another site the uses a product code to add a fuel surcharge at a percentage but have not tried it

Sorry not a great deal of help

I've no idea if this works, so it's a left-field thought.

Might it be possible to use the "credit charges" facility to set up a flat rate fee? This could then be applied when needed. Assuming you use the customer module

Feel free to throw eggs wink.gif

Thanks tony, I think I saw this and it relates to charging interest on late payments - but might suggest it. Will try and make time tomorrow to look at it.

Wouldn't dream of throwing eggs, I think it's fantastic that people can suggest things without fear, this site really is about helping each other. Spent too many years on AccountingWeb, it really can bring you down.

Hi, would also be tempted to use 4400 account, if not just create one of similar number.
