What is payment processing fees?

• The payment processing fee is charged to customers when they purchase a ticket via your Booking System.
  
  
• Please note: It's important to ensure this action complies with any applicable laws that relate to your business. If you are unsure if such laws apply, please consult with your legal counsel.
  
  
• There will also be a charge when customers purchase a Gift Voucher online.

Where to set it up

• You can set it up in the Portal by visiting Settings > Booking System then scrolling down to "Payments" and adding the processing fee charges (Stripe/Paypal/Checkout).

You have the option to:

• Enter a fixed amount (this is a base price, that does not change regardless of how much is being spent by your customer) or
  
  
• Use a percentage (this will calculate a percentage of the total price after tax and discounts).

Info

You only need to put in the percentage that you’re being charged by the payment gateway: Zero Latency has set the feature up to automatically calculate the fees the third party payment gateway will charge so that your costs are covered accurately.
