if you are trying to charge your customer the credit card fees you would have to calculate it outside Square and enter it into a variably priced item called "convenience fee" or something like it. There isn't a way for it to auto calculate a fee in Square.

@VanKalkerFarms Any updates to this since your reply in 2019? I'm new here and was searching for an answer. Thinking maybe there's been an update. Thanks for your help!

There is not a way to auto calculate a fee and a set amount, like to pass on the charges in the states where it is legal. you can use a sales tax to auto calculate a percentage though and that could work. that can be complicated when it comes to tax season so I would recommend asking your accountant if it would be ok as it will appear in your account as you collected a tax. You can name the tax when making it and call it credit card fee or connivence fee.
