Agreed. I wish everyone auto-CC payed, even though it costs me a few bucks.

Credit card auto pay has a higher percentage chance of being on time than checks. We encourage our customers to charge a check processing fee or at least give a discount to auto payers. I know we spent a lot more time tracking down checks and had very few come in on time than the small fee you pay for credit cards. How much does it cost you in labor to track down deadbeat check payers? For us, the convenience was worth more than the charge.

Basically, this feature would automatically apply a fixed or percentage based fee to the bill for all credit or debit card payments. It would also warn the customer of this charge before they setup auto pay or submit manual payment. We would continue to allow ACH or eCheck withdrawal for free but charge for customers to use credit/debit payment method as those costs are 2-4% of the total customer bill, which we don't want to eat the cost of. Please vote for this feature if you think you might be even a little interested in this so it is available when you are.
