• Amount: Here you must select the way how you want to charge the fee and specify the amount. You can select three different ways:

  • Percentage: It will charge based on the invoice order subtotal.

  • Currency: to charge a fixed amount per order.

  • Box: to charge a given amount per box regardless of the type or size, you will also able to enter a minimum amount per day. The Min per Day field will only appear when you select Box in the Amount field below the Cap per day, allowing you to set up a minimum daily amount to charge your customers, regardless of the number of boxes sold. In other words, the system will make sure of charging the minimum amount in the first order of the day with boxes. If the amount to charge is higher than the value entered, then that's the amount to be charged in the order. Keep in mind that the Min. per Day does not apply for Prebooks generated on e-commerce.

• Cap per Day: The system allows specifying a limit to charge your customer. This information is optional and could vary depending on if you are applying the additional charge in percentage, boxes or dollars.

  • Dollars: when the automatic additional charge is set in currency, the cap per day will represent the number of times per day that the customer will be charged for this automatic additional charge. Remember that the cap per day must be an integer number. Leaving this field blank, the system will apply the amount entered on all daily invoices.

  • Percentage: When the additional charge amount is set by percentage, the system allows specifying a daily limit amount per customer for this automatic additional charge, meaning that if you set a Cap per day of $10, the system will not charge more than $10 dollars to each customer per day.

  • Boxes: when the amount type is set in boxes, this field allows you to specify a daily limit amount per Customer and Location for the Automatic Additional Charge. This option does not apply for Prebooks generated on E-Commerce.

• • Meaning that if you set a Cap per day of $10, the system will not charge more than $10 dollars to each customer per day.
