For accounting purposes of the payment service provider, the system can automatically calculate processing and acquiring fees and take these fees into account in financial statements. The fees are calculated based on the rates that can be specified for each payment gateway connected to a merchant’s shop.
To calculate the fees, the system applies the rates of two types, as follows:
- Buy rates: fixed and percentage-based processing rates which are charged by the acquirer to the payment service provider.
- Sell rates: fixed and percentage-based processing rates which are charged to the merchant by the payment service provider.
Additionally, it is possible to specify the percentage and period of the rolling reserve, if it is applied to transactions in favor of the merchant.
A rolling reserve is an acquirer's security fund to cover possible risks and losses from the merchant's activities. The amount of the rolling reserve is determined as a percentage withheld from the amount of each successful payment transaction (Payment and Capture transactions) for the period set by the acquirer. At the end of the reserve period, the detained amount is returned to the merchant.
To configure the rates, follow the steps below:
- Go to Account Manager >
- GotothelineoftheshopintheIfrequired,useSearch for a merchant’s shop.
- Click View to go to the shop settings
- Go to the Gateways
- Click the name of the acquirer who provided the required payment
- Go to the Rates
