Payment (Provider) Contracts

Last updated: 10-Apr-2024

Overview

The Payment Provider Contracts (PPCs) option enables you to view a list of all service providers related to your organizations, with useful information such as your Verifone Merchant ID, the supported channels or payment types of the processors you work with. 

Availability

The Payment Provider Contract feature is available to all users for viewing, except for those with the Merchant Partner role. Only a Verifone representative can create a new payment provider contract or delete an existing one upon the merchant's request.

Benefits

This feature provides the following benefits:

  • Enables you to view all the payment contracts and processors
  • Allows you to centralize important information about the payment contracts such as processor, sales channel and payment type
  • Enables you to safely share bank account details and PIM related configuration details with the processor

Surcharge Configuration

Processing fees or some other fees for processing of the card/plastic transactions to the card/processor may be required. You may pass some, or all of that fee on to the customer as a surcharge. You can add surcharges to payments, so that you can recoup the cost of acceptance from your acquirer/processor.

   Only users with Merchant Admin role can set up the surcharge.
  1. Go to Administration > Payment (Provider) Contracts.
  2. Select your Payment Provider Contract from the PPC list for which you want to configure the surcharge.
