We have summited so many support requests and called so many times, but we are still not getting any answers a week later!
Our 5% surcharge is charging as follows:
check subtotal = 100
Service charge (5%) = 5.41
Taxes (8.24%) = 8.70
--> The service charge amount is clearly adding its own taxes to its total service charge amount AND taxing on the tax line.
I find crazy that this is not fixed - especially if it's happening to everyone.
Solved! Go to Solution.

The tipping calculation was set to after taxes. We did not realize at the time that it would impact service charges. I wish one of the 4 support and expert team members over the course of about 3hours on the phone would have thought of that... Could have saved a bit of time and clean up on our accounting side.

I cant delete that post - but I found the issue. Unfortunately without the help of support.

I'm sorry to hear support could not resolve the issue for you. If you can explain what you did to resolve it for other people who may run into this issue, that would be super helpful! If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out!
