  1. CUSTOM FEES [ps2id id=’cmd’ target=”/]General information: 
    • If you enable it from Connect, then you can add more than one Fee to the order from the app
    • Custom Fee is applied to SUBTOTAL amount of order
    • Each Custom Fee is assigned to Vendor 
    • There’re 3 fee types to choose from: Flat, Percentage, Custom
      a) Flat, Percentage – these are ordinary fees that have fixed value set from Custom Fees page
      b) Custom Fee – the only fee that can be changed by cashier. The decision whether it’s flat or percentage and what’s the final Fee value is left to the cashier.
    • Fees are assigned to Vendors/Subvendors.
      They can be applied only to whole order. If we have multiple Custom Fees – they are counted separately to subtotal (order): i.e.:

      • Order: $10
      • Fee1, flat $5
      • Fee2, percent 20%
        Final order price: $10 + $5 (fee1) + 20%*$10 (fee2) = $17

2. Interested in more about Fee Calculations? Read on! [ps2id id=’kf90e’ target=”/]

  1. Mix Convenience Fee (Employee Role settings) and Custom Fee (Connect – Options settings) [ps2id id=’k3m4′ target=”/]
    It is possible to mix “Convenience Fee” added on Employee Role and “Custom Fee”. If both properly set, here’s how it’s calculated.
Custom fee + Convenience Fee on Employee Role

Convenience Fee: $1.00
Custom Fee (15%)

When Total is calculated, fees are counted separately and added to subtotal (Value of order)
Value of order = $4


Tap “More” and add fee from “Fees” tab

2. Fees and Taxes [ps2id id=’3mk34′ target=”/]

-> If “Tax per Item” is turned on for the Venue, taxes would be applied according to logic set for Tax Levels

-> The option in Connect > Vendor Roles > Taxes


is visible only when Tax per Item is NOT set for the Venue. “Apply Tax To Fee” is applied to Convenience Fee only.

3. Refunds [ps2id id=’44900f’ target=”/]
When order is refunded the whole Fee amount is refunded as well.

In case of partial refund, Fee value is divided according to the value of individual items.


FIXED: [ps2id id=’0ej3m4′ target=”/]

  1. Lag performance problems in certain cases.
  2. 6.8 and earlier versions crashes.
  3. Payments rounding issues.
