Overview

A credit surcharge is available to be applied to transactions where a credit card is used.

A credit surcharge must be configured prior to utilizing this feature. Contact Flyght Support for enablement.

Follow the steps below to see how a credit surcharge is applied on the PAD:

  1. On the PAD, open an order, add items, and fire them

  2. Navigate to the Check screen

  3. Fees and tax initially include the credit surcharge addition to the order

Debit Payments

If you’re using the Flyght Credit Surcharge program, all debit cards will be automatically removed from the surcharging process during the payment total process, as seen below. This will keep your business in-line with existing payment card agreements with your processor.

This feature does not apply to restaurants using a cash-discounting process. This only applies to restaurant using a true surcharging prog
