What is "transaction type"?

When setting up some online payment methods in your store (for example Authorize.Net, Paypal Payflow link, American Express, Payeezy, TransFirst Transaction Express, and others), you can choose a Transaction Type - it is an option that allows you to set how you will charge your customers' cards. This option has two values:

Authorize

The payment gateway checks a customer's card balance. If it is enough to pay for the order, it returns a positive response. Otherwise, it returns a failed attempt. Customer is not charged automatically, gateway just checks if the transaction is possible and if there is enough money on the card balance. To actually charge the customer, store owner logins to their account with the payment gateway and clicks a special button. Only after that the payment gateway takes the money from the customer's card.

Sale

The payment gateway checks a customer's card balance. If it is enough to pay for order, it charges the customer immediately and returns a positive response.

You can select the method that suits your needs best. 

Can I add a surcharge to use a payment method?

Usually, a payment processor charges a service fee for processing credit cards. You may want to add a surcharge for customers to use a payment method powered by this provider in order to be compensated for their fees. While some payment providers have a tool to add a surcharge to the purchase amount, others like PayPal do not allow it.

We suggest that you consider changing product prices to absorb such cost. In case you sell products that require shipping, you can set a Handling fee to cover your expenses (it is applied to all orders regardless of the payment method).
