With HitPay's Pass-the-fees feature, merchants can now add a surcharge fee, in the form of a fixed percentage (%).
The Pass-the-fees feature can be customised for specific payment methods and by HitPay sales channel (Shopify, WooCommerce, Payment Links, etc). Customers will see the surcharge fee on the HitPay-enabled checkout page.

Things to note:
Do note that HitPay transaction fees are applied on the final amount, after the surcharge fee has been added.
For example:
- a product is $100
- You've set a 5% fees
- The final amount on the payment page will reflect $105
- HitPay transaction fees are then applied on $105 (Not $100)
Hence, do set the % accordingly.
