What Are Surcharges
Surcharges can be used to modify the amount paid out to a consignor in a few different ways. There are three basic types:
Name | Consignor Effect |
Buyer's Fee | Consignor gets less, but at the same rate as the split |
Consignor Fee | Consignor gets less, but at a different rate than the split |
Credit Card Fee | Consignor covers the Credit Card Fee |
Creating Surcharges
To create a surcharge, go to Settings > Surcharges > Create New. A creation table will slide out of the right side of your screen.
Name the surcharge and select the type, whether Buyer's Fee, Consignor Fee, or Credit Card Fee. Then choose here whether the amount will be a set dollar amount (i.e. $10 Cleaning Fee), or a percentage of the sale price (i.e. 3% Credit Card Fee).
Rules
Setting a rule for a Surcharge determines which items the surcharge applies to. If you click the "+" button a dropdown list will appear showing the options for which items to apply the surcharge to. If you have a random grouping of items you want to apply a surcharge to simply tag all of the items in a bulk edit, and then choose the proper tag when you add the rule "Apply to items with tag."
Scheduling
Surcharges can also be scheduled to increase or decrease over a period of time. Click the "+" next to Schedules to add multiple scheduled changes like those below:
The percentages and days are completely customizable to suit your store's needs!
