I’ve seen posts saying the ability to add a percentage surcharge to cover the additional paypal fees is coming. Can you update as to when this will be? Is there any work around that would let us cover this? Events can run in the 100s and the fee is significant.

Hi Jase, we do not have an estimate on when this will be available.
A workaround is to add a surcharge as a percentage via the ticket editor within the event editor in your WP Dashboard.

Wouldn’t that add the surcharge to all forms of payment?
The only workaround that I could figure out just for paypal is to add this to functions.php:

and to add this to footer.php in the themes folder:

It’s the ugliest hack I think I’ve ever done. I’m going to go cry in a corner now.

Hi Jase,
You should be able to avoid the hack (and the crying in the corner) by using the following filter hook to add a fee to the amount of what’s sent to PayPal.

For others researching this, instead put this in functions.php

Hi Jase,
Thanks for sharing your solution. It may help others to put that in a gist and link here so the quotes don’t get formatted. I’ll go ahead and fix the above code so no one ends up using this as is.
Or with shorter snippets like what you have there, you can use back ticks to make sure the quotes in the code don’t get eaten by bbpress.

Hi Hojati,
I’m not sure what you mean by bill payments. Can you explain?

Hi there,
Are you offering the invoice payment method and other payment methods too, where you want the fee to only apply to transactions where the invoice method is selected –or– are you only offering payment by invoice?

I want to offer Payment by PayPal and Invoice.
The Payment with PayPal wont have an extra fee.
But since Invoice is a lot of manula work i want to add a extra fee by 2.50$

Hi Hojati, the example shared in this support post can only be applied to PayPal Standard transactions in Event Espresso 4.
We are planning an add-on that will allow you to specify additional surcharges per payment option (e.g. apply to invoice but not to PayPal).
