can anyone please let me know if there is a way for me to add the paypal fee – I saw in an older post that adding this to functions.php will do this but can anyone confirm please?
function add_pp_args($args){
$ppamt = $args['amount_1'] + $args['tax_cart'];
$ppamt = ( ($ppamt * .026) + .30 );
$ppamt = number_format((float)$ppamt, 2, '.', ”);
//remove debug
foreach($args as $key => $val) if( substr($key,-2) == '_2' ) unset($args[$key]);
$args['item_name_2'] = "Booking and Service Fee";
$args['amount_2'] = $ppamt;
$args['quantity_2'] = 1;
return $args;
}
add_filter('FHEE__EEG_Paypal_Standard__set_redirection_info__arguments','add_pp_args');

That code ‘works’ in that it will add an additional amount onto your PayPal payments – http://take.ms/YJLLW
However note that it does this as late as it possibly can, when the user is redirected to PayPal, which means Event Espresso does not have any of the information that was added by the above.
This means that when the user returns to the site after paying through PayPal EE is expecting X value to be paid, however the user paid X + Y (X being the value of the ticket Y being the additional fee added by the above)
EE will identify this as an overpayment when the user returns to the site and show Y as an overpayment on registration overview – http://take.ms/vGNrP
Note that the above function likely goes against the PayPal User Agreement shown here: https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full#4
Section 4.5 indicates no surcharges can be charged for PayPal transactions so its not something EE or PayPal currently support.

thanks Tony – its just when offering a lot of courses at $200 or more each, the Paypal fee is substantial when you have over 100 or more users registering….it seems unfair that the person running the courses has to pay the Paypal fee
we accept DD Cheque and Paypal so its hard to make the course fee enough to cover Paypal fees as some users wont pay using Paypal and then are unfairly paying more.
it would be good if there was some work around for this….
