Adding Cover the processing fee checkbox to donation form

[GabrielLee]

Our donate page is built in VisualForce: https://imeq.secure.force.com/donate

We'd like to add a checkbox to our donation form that says, "I want to pay the 3% processing fee so this charity gets the full donation amount above."

Is there support in your system for this? How do we implement this?

Thanks.

Good day!

You may use a JavaScript or an additional field in your form for the service fee. The FaaS processor processed anything you post to it and will process it as a line item. While you can do this please note that you will be in violation of Visa & MasterCard rules. Card companies do not approve of adding surcharge (discouraging use of cards) and as such may close your account. This is not a Click & Pledge feature or procedure / policy but one that credit card companies mandate.

While it is easy to request this from the donor one may simply consider it as cost of doing business such as rent, water bill, etc. The thought process in the industry is a negative image is being presented. If the card holder choose to send you a check you have lost that immediacy where they donate because it is easy. Asking them to write a check and mail it may result in more loss of revenue.

It is up to you but something we do not recommend. Our API processes any items posted to it and you may post to us the service fee as a line item.
