Credit card surcharge plans that Elavon offers

Merchant managed: The surcharge fees you collect will be funded to your bank account as part of a funding file for a batched submission. At the end of the billing period, the business will see a debit against their account for all surcharge fees you collected and were funded for over the course of the billing cycle.

Acquirer managed: The processor removes the surcharge fees you collected prior to sending the funding file to your bank. No debit of the surcharge fees will appear on your account at the end of the billing period..

*Certain provincial or local laws may restrict or limit the amount or applicability of the merchants’ surcharge percentage. Although we offer credit card surcharging in most provinces, merchants are responsible for determining the legality of surcharging in their provinces, and merchants are solely liable if their surcharge practices are found to be unlawful. Credit card surcharge applies to credit card only, not available on debit card or prepaid card transactions. Credit card surcharge is not available in Quebec.
