In this article, we will guide you through the top five steps to effectively add a service fee on Square.
Step 1: Log into Your Square Dashboard
Begin by logging into your Square Dashboard. This is where you’ll manage all aspects of your account, including payments, services, and fees. Make sure you’re using an account that has administrative privileges so that you can make changes to settings.
Step 2: Navigate to Settings
Once logged in, locate the ‘Settings’ option in the left-hand menu of your dashboard. Click on it to access various configuration options for your account. Here you’ll find options related to payment processing, invoices, and more.
Step 3: Select ‘Payment Settings’
In the Settings menu, look for ‘Payment Settings.’ This section contains all options related to how you charge customers. Click on this option to proceed with adding the service fee.
Step 4: Add Your Service Fee
Within Payment Settings, there should be an option labeled ‘Service Fees’. Click here and then select ‘Add Service Fee’. You’ll be prompted to enter details such as the name of the fee (e.g., “Service Charge”), the percentage or fixed amount you’d like to charge as a service fee, and whether it applies to all transactions or specific ones only.
Step 5: Save Changes and Test Your Setup
After entering all necessary information about your service fee, make sure to save changes at the bottom of the page. It’s also advisable to do a test transaction after saving these changes. This ensures that everything is functioning correctly before officially implementing this new policy with customers.
Adding a service fee on Square doesn’t have to be complicated. By following these five straightforward steps—logging into your dashboard, navigating through settings, selecting payment options, adding in specific details about your service fee—and testing it out afterward—you’ll be ready to go in no time.
