spacegremlin Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 how did you do this in your shop. when i receive a payment in my paypal account. its something like 0,35 and 3,8 % of the total, these are the extra costs i make to receive a paypal payment. because of the 3,8% that total is alway different, how dit you fix that?

It should be balanced in your accounts - you do accounts right? The order total is a sale - the Paypal total is a receipt - the Paypal charge is an expense.

René H4 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 As a second thought: Paypal does not allow you to charge the cost to the customer, it's in their Terms and Conditions. I have almost gond ridd of Paypal by offering generally accepted alternatives, like iDeal and BankContact, for Netherlands and Belgium. Paypal is a high cost payment method, so try to get ridd of it.

VadymG Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 By the way, at PayPal they can be quite flexible and accommodating if your turnover is hitting certain targets. So in case it goes to 1 mil or more per year you can try to negotiate your %. I hope this helps. Business Development osCommerce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacegremlin Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 @René H4 correct thats why the extra cost will be extra packingcost, and not paypal costs. i tough of ideal 2, that i also prefer, afcourse there are also costs but there you know what to expect. and these costs you are aloud to let the customer pay. --- HeatherbellIt is not something to "fix".

♥14steve14 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Whilst you cant charge extra for people using Paypal you can discount other payment methods if you want. There is an addon for that somewhere. I personally just add a set percentage into the packaging cost to cover all the fees from the payment processors. 1 minute ago, spacegremlin said: Heatherbell It is not something to "fix".

The fees you are charged by your payment processor can be claimed as a business expense, is what's being said here, the same as any bank charges can be.

♥14steve14 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Just make sure that what ever payment processor you choose that PayPal is an option. there are some that will not buy unless they can pay using PayPal and the added protection it gives buyers.

spacegremlin Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 indeed, that was my thinking and i had that option. but we made the choise leave the option out. mostly paypal is for international, so if that question come. they can pay with paypal. for national, it would not be a problem just paying with banktransfer (ideal) thank you all. afcourse there are some ways to fix this, but ill drop the option for now.
