If the first option is selected, the surcharge must be manually applied to each transaction.

If the second option is selected, all transactions during the valid time period(s) will have the surcharge applied.

If the third option is selected, only Tabs will have the surcharge applied during the valid time period(s).

Note: For an Order Surcharge to apply automatically, the relevant Workstation Groups must be configured with the Order Surcharge.

Manual application or overriding automatic application of a surcharge can be done either with the Order Surcharge Payment Window Button for standard transactions, or in the Tab Details window for Tabs.

If an Order Surcharge is configured to apply automatically, the FastCash Button will take the operator to the Payment Screen in order to confirm the surcharge, rather than immediately completing the transaction.
