Online service charge (in our case credit card charges we are incurring.)
With the advent of trying to control the coronavirus, it seems that our business might be more heavily impacted with customers wanting to order online and want delivery. I see a jump in this activity. To this end, it would be really nice to be able to automatically charge a 3% service charge to the online order. When I say automatic, every owner could populate a field, and put a value in it, so that those customers that do not want to have this charge on the order, could put 0 in the field. 0 means 0 service charge. I would be using 3 so I would expect a 3% service charge. In our case, this would be for the credit card processing. But any value here is what would be added to the order prior to the credit card processing. This idea might need to jump ahead of other suggestions just because of the nature of the business and the nature of the populous reaction to the pandemic we are potentially going to experience.

Hi!
Thanks for the suggestion. We have a few things in the works for this. With our 8.1 version (now in beta for the POS) we have a surcharge option that could be apply automatically to just online orders. This beta is not available yet for online but will be soon.
In the meantime you may want to consider increasing delivery fees to help?
Best of luck during this uncertain time.
