How to Choose Who Covers Processing Fees

Learn how to decide who pays processing fees on your invoices — whether your business, your clients, or a custom split — and how to set it up in your Maroo account.


🔍 Who Can Cover the Fees?

When accepting payments, you have the flexibility to choose who covers the processing fees — either your business or your clients. This guide explains your options and how to set them up.

🏢 Business Pays the Fees

  • Clients see the full invoice amount without extra charges

  • Your business absorbs the credit card processing fees

👤 Client Pays the Fees

  • Processing fees are added on top of the invoice amount

  • Clients are responsible for covering the transaction costs

⚖️ Custom Split

  • Split the processing fees between your business and your clients

  • Set a specific percentage for each party, giving you flexibility to share the cost

💡Choosing who pays the fees depends on your business strategy, pricing, and client experience preferences.

How to Set Who Pays the Fees

Follow these simple steps in your Maroo account:

  • Go to Settings

  • Select Payment Settings

  • Select Client if you want the client to pay the fees

  • Select Custom if you want to divide the fees

  • Save Changes

Once configured, all new invoices will follow this payment fee setting.

💡 Tips to Consider

  • Transparency: Make sure your clients are aware if fees are passed on to them

  • Consistency: Keep your fee policy consistent across invoices to avoid confusion

  • Cost Management: Absorbing fees may affect your margins; passing them on helps maintain revenue
