Hi,

I was wondering how I can add a surcharge for donations on my square website?

@ikeydweck surcharges are a quirky subject. You can add a service charge to all orders, but you can't add a surcharge to debit cards.

Here is the key information on surcharges:

If you are trying to cover your costs on accepting donations, especially if you are a non-profit, I would look at just adding a service charge to cover overhead for accepting and distributing donations, or I would deduct the processing fees from the donation before distributing it and charging as a cost of doing business. I would check with your accountant, but I think this is acceptable since it is a real cost associated with collecting the donation.
