Fees
Use fees for accounting purposes. Fees help you to record costs associated with transactions, and also help to you manage corresponding balance transactions. For example, you may record fees that are associated with a particular payment gateway. Each time the payment gateway processes a sales transaction, the corresponding balance transaction is automatically recorded to your accounts. To view balance transactions, see View balance transactions. For more information, see Balance transactions.
Fee settlement settings are evaluated in the following order:
- Fee settlement settings override the settlement settings of the gateway account that processes the transaction.
- If fee settlement settings are not defined, gateway account financial settings are used.
- If both gateway account financial settings and fee settlement settings are not defined, the amount is immediately settled in the merchant's reporting currency.
