Paypal fees

Hi Tuan - for the paypal payment gateway, we need to be able to add in the paypal fees of 2.9% and $0.30 per transaction. We also have an offline payment option, so we can't add the paypal fees into our subscription costs. Could you add 2 fields into the paypal payment gateway for the percent and per transaction fees? The percent would be based on the total of the membership costs and the transaction fee is just added to the total.
Thanks!

Hi Brian

At the moment, it is not possible to do that. I am working on new version of Membership Pro this week and will try to find a better solution for this problem.

I will update you in the next 2, 3 days

Hi Tuan - any news on this? People will be starting to renew memberships soon, and I really will be needing this.
To recap - Paypal charges 2.9% +$0.30 per transaction.
So, to take home the correct total ($30.00 in my case) I would need to charge 31.20.
This would be $30.00 +.30 = $30.30 / .971 = 31.20, so the paypal fee on $30 would be 1.20 added to the member's total.
(100 - .029 = .971 above)
So the fee box (where I would put the .30) would add to the total of the transaction, then the percentage box would subtract from 100 like above, then calculate the total to be charged, then subtract the original total and show the member the remainder as a processing fee (in this example the $1.20)
Hopefully I explained this correctly to you and you can do this. I'd just make my membership 31.20, but we have an offline payment option so I can't really do that.
Thanks!

Hi Brian

Unfortunately, we don't have the code for this feature ready yet. So maybe you can submit a support ticket sending me admin and FTP account of your site so that I can edit code to add this feature for you.

I still don't know how we can let users know about this fee yet. Maybe you can change title of the payment plugin to let them know about this additional fee. I can only edit code so that if users choose Paypal, they will have to pay that additional fee for you.

Tuan

When do you think this feature will be available? i would like to add a standard 1.00 processing fee to my memberships.

Hi Justin

On what payment gateway you want to add this fee ? Please let me know so that we can guide you to add it

Tuan

Paypal.

You can edit the code yourself to add the fee :

1. Open the file components/com_osmembership/plugins/os_paypal.php

2. Find the code below :

3. Change it to:

After that, the fee will be added to the payment which users have to pay for your subscription

Tuan

That did not work. it still shows 20.00 and tries to process 20.00

Hi Justin

Maybe you can submit a support ticket sending me :

1. Admin and FTP account of the site.

2. The link to the sign up page

I will check and correct code for you. At this time, the fee will only be added when subscribers are redirected to Paypal for processing payment
