Currently, Square’s terms do <STRONG data-start="363" data-end="370">not</STRONG> allow sellers to add the processing fee as an extra charge directly to the customer’s payment. This means if your item is $100, you would charge $100, and Square will deduct their fees from that amount before depositing the remainder to your account.&nbsp;<SPAN>Also, welcome to the Square Community! 🥳 We are so happy to have you here.&nbsp;</SPAN></P> Mon, 18 Aug 2025 19:39:47 GMT Ellie_ 2025-08-18T19:39:47Z https://community.squareup.com/t5/Payments-Troubleshooting/New-to-Square-How-does-the-consumer-absorb-the-2-6-10-that/m-p/805866#M27833 <P>new to square.&nbsp; Square charges 2.6% + .10 per transaction.&nbsp; I want the consumer to absorb those charges.&nbsp; Say the item is $100, do I actually charge the $100 or do I add the $2.70 then tap payment?
