A new feature in Photo Finale & Lab 50 that allows a dealer to set a minimum order amount / service charge.

Configuration

Configuration is done in Lab 50 on the Application Settings screen in a new "Service Charge" groupbox.

Finally, the operator has a checkbox to determine whether a service fee should be waived if the order total is $0 (e.g. in response to a 100% off order discount).

Calculating Service Charges

  • A fixed service charge is a static amount applied to all orders.
     
  • A diminishing service charge is calculated as: "Configured service charge value" - Subtotal + Discount
    • Example: $6 subtotal, $2.75 discount, $5 base service charge.   Applied service charge = $5 - $6 + $2.75 = $1.75
    • Example: $6 subtotal, $2.75 discount, $3 base service charge.  Applied service charge = $3 - $6 + $2.75 = negative value so no service charge

  • If (Subtotal - Discount) = $0 and the "Waive service charge on $0 orders" setting is enabled, the service charge should be set to $0.
     
  • Service fees are subject to taxation when the tax rule or tax database indicates that shipping charges are taxed.

    When shipping is taxed (or pickup orders): Total = (Subtotal - Discount + Service Fee + Shipping) * Tax
    When shipping is not taxed: Total = (Subtotal - Discount) * Tax + Service Fee + Shipping

Behavior - PF Web

On the checkout page, an additional line is added to the Order Summary, called "Service Charge".  The Service Charge is located in between "Discount" and "Shipping".
