'' '''Note:''' For convenience, all new and already existing items are set to 'chargeable' by default.''
When your default payment gateway currency is USD and you set fixed amount discount at -1.00, your customer who prefers to pay in USD will receive $1 discount.<br />

{|
 
{|
|style="padding: 10px 0px 10px 15px;"|1. For your convenience, payments gateway charges are enabled by default for clients, products and addons.<br/> Charges for domains and other are disabled by default.
+
|style="padding: 10px 0px 15px 15px;"|In this section you can customize the basics of the module's settings such as:
 +
* '''Show Charge''' - toggle to show charge on the order for a client. Click [https://www.docs.modulesgarden.com/images/6/66/PGC29_1.png here] to see the example.
 +
* '''Show Charges Table''' - if toggled on, the box with gateways details of additional payments on the order form will be visible for a client. Click [https://www.docs.modulesgarden.com/images/5/57/PGC29_2.png here] to see the example.
 +
* '''Format Charge''' - here you can define the format of the discount or charges displayed on the invoice. Click [https://www.docs.modulesgarden.com/images/e/ef/PGC29_3.png here] to see the example.<br/>You can use these variables to define it:
 +
** ''':mainText:''' - by default displayed as '' 'Payment Gateway Charge' '' or '' 'Payment Gateway Discount' '' depending on the gateway rule configuration.<br/>You can change the displayed text in a language file by editing '' 'InvoiceItemTextCharge' '' and '' 'InvoiceItemTextDiscount' '' records.
 +
** ''':gatewayName:''' - the name of the payment gateway to which a charge or discount was applied.
 +
** ''':discount:''' - the calculated discount amount
 +
** ''':price:''' - the calculated charge amount. ''Note: if applied, this amount will also include the tax''.
 +
** ''':priceWithoutTax:''' - the calculated charge amount without any tax applied
 +
** ''':tax1:''' - calculated level 1 tax of the charge
 +
** ''':tax2:''' - calculated level 2 tax of the charge
 +
** ''':fullTax:''' - the sum of calculated level 1 and level 2 tax of the charge
 +
* '''Select Order Template''' -  choose the order templates you use to determine where the charges table is displayed.<br/>If you are using custom template, please select '' 'Use Charges Table Tag' '' and set the field below.
 +
* '''Charges Table Tag''' - if you are using custom template, here you can determine where the charges table will be displayed.<br/>In that case, define the custom tag element from your template, after which the charges table will appear, e. g. ''div#creditCardInputFields''.<br/>'' '''Note''' that the provided tag name should be unique in your template! Otherwise, the integration may be injected into uncontrolled positions.''

{|
 
{|
|style="padding: 0px 0px 5px 15px;"|2. Promotion codes: if the option '' 'Charge After Applying Promo Code' '' is enabled in the addon, you need to remember about one thing. <br/>
+
|style="padding: 0px 0px 30px 25px;"|[[File:PGC29.png]]
''If the promotion code is created for a bundle of items (e.g. a product ordered with an addon) then all '''required''' items must be chargeable to allow the promotion <br/>before being charged with the gateway charge.

==Logs==
 
{|
 
{|
|style="padding: 0px 0px 5px 15px;"|3. Charge/Discount Charges visible names are included in language file of the module (e.g. english.php), there are used two variables which you can use to alter displayed names of the two options.<br/> The mentioned variables are:
+
|style="padding: 10px 0px 20px 15px;"|In the logs section you can see which invoices have been calculated with additional discounts or charges resulting from the module's configuration.
$LANG['mg_chtpl_charged'] = 'Payment Gateway Charge';

$LANG['mg_chtpl_discount'] = 'Payment Gateway Discount';
+
 
|}
 
|}
 
{|
 
{|
|style="padding: 0px 0px 5px 15px;"|4. It is advised that '' 'Auto Apply Credits' '' option should be disabled due to the possibility of problems occurrence.<br/>
+
|style="padding: 0px 0px 20px 25px;"|[[File:PGC30.png]]
Charge is not automatically added and calculated  when auto applying credits.<br/>
+
Problems may occur when a client does not have sufficient credits for both the basic payment and the charge.
+

|}
 
{|
 
{|
|style="padding: 0px 0px 5px 15px;"|5. In case administrator deletes a hosting product that has been invoiced but later on the payment gateway is changed then such hosting product is treated as of '' 'Other' '' type on the invoice.

Configuration and Management

Payment Gateway Charges For WHMCS allows your customers to manage additional charges in your WHMCS system.

In this short guide we will present you the possibilities of our module.

Gateways Settings

Once you access the addon, you will be moved directly to its configuration. Here you can decide for which gateways the additional charges or discounts will be applied, according to their settings and rules.

Start by selecting 'Settings' .

PGC8.png
Here you can define the following settings:
  • Status - toggle to enable or disable charges for a chosen payment gateway
  • Charge After Taxing - if enabled, the charge will be applied to an already taxed item
  • Apply Tax To Charge - enable to impose taxes on charges. Note: taxes will not be applied for discount rules
  • Billing Type - choose between 'Standard' or 'Alternative (e.g. PayPal model)' - the differences are explained in the further part of documentation
  • Show In Charges Table - if enabled, the charges and discounts configured in the rules of this gateway will be displayed in the table at the checkout.
PGC9.png
Billing types explanation:
  • Standard - when this type is selected, the total fee will be calculated in a standard manner, taking account of the full amount charged for the products in the cart.
  • Alternative (e.g. PayPal model) - when this method is selected, the fee will be calculated in such a way so that it matches e.g. the PayPal's method of charge calculation.
    Note: when this option is selected, the 'Alternative' billing type will be applied to every activated payment gateway, not only PayPal.
Please notice at the table below that the final price which a client is obliged to pay and the amount that will be sent e.g. to PayPal slightly vary between the two presented methods.

E.g.:
Product Price: $124.00
Gateway Fee: 5%

Method Base Fee Total Amount With Charge
Standard 124 * 0.05 = $6.20 124 + 6,20 = $130.20
Alternative (124/0.95) - 124 = $6.53 124 + 6,53 = $130.53
So, the total amount to be paid by the client would be $130.20 for the standard method and $130.53 for the alternative, PayPal method.

Now, let us see in reverse how these total fee amounts would look like if both were the result of calculations using an alternative method only.
This will help you better understand why it is advised to choose the alternative method for some payment gateways like PayPal.

Total Calculation Method 5% Fee From Total Amount With Charge
From Standard 130.20 * 0,05 = $6.51
From Alternative 130.53 * 0.05 = $6.53
So, if you are using PayPal and want to receive a full $124.00 amount for a product with a 5% gateway fee, a payment of $130.53 should be sent to PayPal gateway.
$6.53 will cover PayPal fees which is 5% of the total amount to be paid by the client.

In case of the $130.20 amount calculated using the standard method, the 5% PayPal fee would be $6.51, which, after deducting from the total, would result in $123.69 amount for the product itself.

Method Amount With Charge 5% Fee Amount Which Would Be Received
Standard $130.20 $6.51 130.20 - 6.51 = $123.69
Alternative $130.53 $6.53 130.53 - 6.53 = $124.00

Gateways Rules

In the rules section, you can set a percentage or a fixed amount of billed charges or discounts.

To set the rules, first press 'Show Rules' located next to the chosen payment gateway.

PGC11.png
Next, press the 'Add Rule' button.
PGC12.png
Here you can name the rule and define a charge for the gateway in a percent form, fixed amount or both.
PGC13.png
Important: At least one gateway condition must be added to the rule for it to work. You can find a description of adding conditions to rules here.
The following examples assume that gateway conditions have already been created.


The result of the above rule will be a 5% charge of the product price (which in this example is $100.00) with additional $1.00 charge for the selected 2Checkout payment gateway (using 'Standard' billing type method).

PGC14.png
You can also set negative amounts. Then, a discount will be applied to a chosen gateway instead of charging an additional fee.
PGC15.png
The result of the above rule will be a 5% discount of the product price (which in this example is $100.00) with additional $1.00 reduction for the selected 2Checkout payment gateway (using 'Standard' billing type method).
PGC16.png

Steps Rules

You can also add additional steps to your rules and define above which minimum amount on the invoice the additional fee or set discount will be applied.

To start, press 'Show Steps' next to the created rule.

PGC17.png
Now, you need to add your first step. Press the 'Add Step' button.
PGC18.png
To create a rule, enter the percentage or fixed amount of the desired charge or discount.

Then, specify the minimum required amount that will trigger the rule.

PGC19.png
You can create as many steps as you want. Each of these step rules will be activated only after the minimum invoice amount has been achieved.

Note that only one step rule can be active at a time. Also, if none of the step rules is met, then the main rule created in the previous section will be applied. In this example, it is the rule for orders below $50.00 amount.

PGC20.png

Gateways Conditions

You can also specify multiple conditions that will affect activation of the rule.
Note that at least one condition has to be created to make the rule applicable.

Start by choosing the 'Show Conditions' button next to the selected rule.

PGC21.png
Next, press the 'Add Condition' button.
PGC22.png
You can select one of several conditions that will determine the activation of the rule.

Choose between the following types:

  • User:
    • Client - activate the rule only for a selected client
  • Group:
    • Clients Group: - activate the rule for selected client groups
    • Currency - you can also specify which currency should be used by the selected group
    • Country - optionally, choose from countries that the selected group of clients should come from
  • All - by choosing this condition, you will make the rule applicable to all of your customers. Optionally you can also add to this rule:
    • Currency - the rule will be triggered for every client with the selected currency
    • Country - apply the rule for every client from the selected country
PGC23.png
Important: some conditions may be combined with one another to provide more possibilities for triggering the rule, but they should not overlap.
PGC24.png

Management of Items

To enable or disable gateway charges and discounts for products, addons or TLDs, go to the 'Items' section.
Then, select the category of items and simply toggle the 'chargeable' status next to the selected item.

Note: For convenience, all new and already existing items are set to 'chargeable' by default.

PGC25.png
You can also toggle multiple 'chargeable' statuses at once by selecting items and using bulk action.
PGC26.png

Management of Clients

To enable or disable gateway charges and discounts for your customers, go to the 'Clients' section.
Then, simply toggle the 'chargeable' status next to the selected client.

Note: For convenience, all new and already clients items are set to 'chargeable' by default.

PGC27.png
You can also toggle multiple 'chargeable' statuses at once by selecting clients and using bulk action.
PGC28.png

Settings

In this section you can customize the basics of the module's settings such as:
  • Show Charge - toggle to show charge on the order for a client. Click here to see the example.
  • Show Charges Table - if toggled on, the box with gateways details of additional payments on the order form will be visible for a client. Click here to see the example.
  • Format Charge - here you can define the format of the discount or charges displayed on the invoice. Click here to see the example.
    You can use these variables to define it:
    • :mainText: - by default displayed as 'Payment Gateway Charge' or 'Payment Gateway Discount' depending on the gateway rule configuration.
      You can change the displayed text in a language file by editing 'InvoiceItemTextCharge' and 'InvoiceItemTextDiscount' records.
    • :gatewayName: - the name of the payment gateway to which a charge or discount was applied.
    • :discount: - the calculated discount amount
    • :price: - the calculated charge amount. Note: if applied, this amount will also include the tax.
    • :priceWithoutTax: - the calculated charge amount without any tax applied
    • :tax1: - calculated level 1 tax of the charge
    • :tax2: - calculated level 2 tax of the charge
    • :fullTax: - the sum of calculated level 1 and level 2 tax of the charge
  • Select Order Template - choose the order templates you use to determine where the charges table is displayed.
    If you are using custom template, please select 'Use Charges Table Tag' and set the field below.
  • Charges Table Tag - if you are using custom template, here you can determine where the charges table will be displayed.
    In that case, define the custom tag element from your template, after which the charges table will appear, e. g. div#creditCardInputFields.
    Note that the provided tag name should be unique in your template! Otherwise, the integration may be injected into uncontrolled positions.

Logs

In the logs section you can see which invoices have been calculated with additional discounts or charges resulting from the module's configuration.
PGC30.png
Note that you can also delete multiple logs at once.
PGC31.png

Tips

1. For your convenience, payment gateway charges are enabled by default for clients, products, addons and domains.
2. Taxes will not be applied to gateway discount rules even if 'Apply Tax To Charge' option is enabled.
3. You can easily change all names of module elements displayed in the client area, admin area or invoices in a language file.

To do so, go to the 'your_whmcs/modules/addons/PaymentGatewayCharges/langs' directory, open the language file (e.g. english.php) and edit desired records.

Update Instructions

Essential guidance through the process of updating the module is offered here.

Keep in mind there is a quick and easy option in our client area that will let you upgrade the license of your module to an open source version at any time - and at a lower price!
To take advantage of it, simply use the 'License Upgrade' button located on the product's page and a discounted invoice will be generated automatically.

Migration

Note that while using the 1.X version of our module, no data can be migrated. This is due to the fact that we did not implement the migration from any of the previous versions of Payment Gateway Charges, so the module needs to be configured from scratch.

Note: Remember that if you wish to switch to the latest version, you need to reissue your license first.

Common Problems

1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports.
2. In the current version, if a promotional code is used by the client, the amount of charge will not be changed as it will continue to be calculated from the basing item price.
The ability to recalculate the charge after using a promo code will be restored in future versions.
