∞ Credit Card Settings - Surcharge Settings (Current Auction)INFORMATION - Add in credit card fees
It is important to note the organization will always be paying the credit card processing fees and the Auctria integration fees on credit card transactions only.
When a bidder pays the fees, they will be paying an extra amount. This extra payment amount is based on the the credit card processing fees plus the Auctria integration fees and applied to their balance during checkout.
This extra payment amount will cover the fees being charged leaving the entire donation, purchase, and winning bid amounts to the organization.

If credit card processing integration is enabled, the Payment Method will show a Credit Card tab, if the bidder has a registered credit card on file an additional Registered Card tab will be available and selected by default; otherwise, the Other tab will be the only one available.
