Can I select my customers on whom I want to surcharge?

Yes, we do offer the capability to configure surcharges selectively, however, this is typically done on an exceptional basis. Given the strict regulations surrounding surcharges, the standard practice is to apply surcharges uniformly across all customers. Selective surcharging is generally only permissible if a client has a specific agreement with their payment processors that allows for such practices.

Yes, you can customize the surcharge criteria for different regions or business units. The module enables merchants to configure the surcharging rules according to their preferences. The module entitles you to set up rules based on various parameters, including the address linked to buyer’s card, the buyer’s headquarter(HQ), or invoice-level details such as Bill to or ship to location.
