Payout Schedule Transaction Fee Differences Explained
You may notice that the transaction fees(Txn. Fee) may be different for invoices of the same charge.
This is because when a customer pays for two or more invoices in the same transaction, the transaction fee is split proportionally between the invoices.
Below is an example for you. This example assumes the provider pays the full transaction fee of 3.63%.

Explanation:
Customer AlexPays 1 invoice of $100 in 1 transaction
Transaction amount = $100
Total transaction fees = (3.63% of 100) +30c = $3.63 + 30c = $3.93 Transaction fee for $100 invoice = $3.93 | Customer BenPays 2 invoices of $100 and $50 in 1 transaction
Transaction amount = $150 Total transaction fees = (3.63% of 150) +30c = $5.45 + 30c = $5.75 For Ben, the fee is split between the two invoices. Transaction fee for $50 invoice = $5.75 x 50/150 = $1.92 Transaction fee for $100 invoice = $5.75 x 100/150 = $3.83 |
Although Ben pays for two invoices, he only pays one 30c fee as he only has one transaction.
So, this 30c is split between the $100 invoice and the $50 invoice proportionally.
In this case, the $50 invoice would take 10c out of the 30c, and the $100 invoice would take 20c out of the 30c.
This is why Ben's transaction fee for the $100 invoice is $3.63 + 20c = $3.83
Alex pays the one $100 invoice so the full 30c applies to this single invoice, which is why Alex's transaction fee is $3.63 + 30c = $3.93.
