Minimum Order Amount / Service Fee
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.
Enter a service charge amount. The default value will be 0.00, which indicates that the feature is disabled.
The operator will also set a fee type from a dropdown menu with options for:
- Fixed service charge for all orders.
- Diminishing service charge offset by purchases.
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".
If the Service Charge value is $0 (because it's configured as such or the customer has satisfied it), the line is omitted from display.
