Card surcharging is a feature that allows for extra charges on sales/hire records when customers opt to pay by card. This feature is applicable for emailing sales records, in-person payments, and online store transactions. It is important to note that surcharges do not apply to invoices that are exported to external accounting systems.

See the Set up Pin Payments in HirePOS guide for implementing Card Surcharging for Pin Payments

It is crucial to ensure that you are utilising the Pin Payments API for surcharging rather than the Payment Link. It is advisable to test surcharges by creating a sample booking and verifying the surcharge amount prior to full implementation.

By leveraging the integration of Pin Payments with HirePOS, businesses can significantly enhance their payment processing efficiency and ensure seamless transactions with their customers.
