This information applies to clients who use online company files (Australia only)

Online invoice payments now offers businesses the option to pass on surcharging fees associated with online payments to their customers. That means that the 1.8% surcharge for card payments (Amex, VISA, Mastercard, or Apple Pay, or Google PayTM) can now be added to a customer invoice. BPAY is excluded in this phase, so you will continue to be charged for payments received via BPAY.

How does it work?

If you're already using online payments, you can turn on customer surcharging. This will apply to all customers who make payments using a credit or debit card.

When customer surcharging is turned on, the 1.8% surcharge fee can be passed on to your customers. The 1.8% surcharge fee is GST inclusive, regardless of whether the invoice includes GST.

Next, you just need to create and send invoices like you normally would.

If a customer chooses to pay via BPAY, they will not incur a surcharge fee. However, you will continue to be charged any fees related to payments received via BPAY.

When they select Credit or Debit Card, they'll be asked to enter their card details. The amount owing, the surcharge fee, and total amount due (invoice and surcharge fee) will be listed as shown below.

When they click Pay, the payment will be processed.

titleHandling the payment in your company file

Handling the payment in your company file

When a customer makes a payment, the details will automatically be entered into your company file for you, and the invoice will be closed off.

Providing you've specified the bank account to record your online invoice payments when you turned on surcharging as described above (Setup > Preferences> Emailing tab > Edit payment options), here's how it'll work:

  1. The individual payments you receive for a day, along with any credit card surcharges, will be recorded in your Undeposited Funds account.
  2. A bank deposit will then be automatically created to include all undeposited funds that were settled.
  3. If you use bank feeds, the lump sum deposit for the day's customer payments will be automatically matched to the bank deposit.

If you need more details about your online invoice payments, see Online invoice payment reports.
