Adding taxes to a payment

1. Open the Lopay app and go to the 'charge' screen (2nd icon at the bottom)

2. Tap the textbox with 'No taxes selected' or 'Show options' in top left.

3. Toggle on the applicable taxes and whether they should apply as default for all payments or just this payment.

4. Select 'Done'

5. The taxes will then show on the charge screen and you can charge as you would normally - i.e. enter the amount and select 'Charge'.

Passing on card fees

In most U.S. states, businesses can pass on credit card fees to customers through surcharges. To set up a surchage in the Lopay app please follow the steps below:

1) Go to the "Charge" screen in your Lopay app (2nd icon at the bottom)

2) Select 'Show options' in the top left and select to add taxes

3) Select 'Create new' at the bottom of the screen.

4) Enter 'Card fees' as the Description, enter a percentage fee (e.g. 3), and select 'Exclusive' fee type from the drop down list. Select 'Save'.

5) You can then toggle on the 'Card fees' surcharge and choose whether it applies to all transactions by default or just the next transaction.
