Fees and Transactions

How Can I Handle the JobNimbus Payments Credit Card Fees?

Processing fees are charged each time a credit/debit card transaction is completed through JobNimbus Payments, but you can choose how those are handled in your account.

A Credit/Debit Card handling fee, also known as a "processing fee", is the fee that is paid every time a credit card is used to complete a transaction.

The Credit/Debit Card processing fee with JobNimbus Payments is 3.2% + $0.29 per transaction. This means if a transaction is for $1,000, the fee will be calculated at $32.29.

The way you handle the Credit/Debit Card fee is determined in your Payments settings within JobNimbus.

  • Click on your profile icon in the top right corner

The different ways you can handle the fees are as follows:

  • Don't pass fee, don't add to margin
    • This method will not pass the fee onto your customers; instead, you will pay the fee. The fees will not show on the invoice or be budgeted into your project.
  • Calculate into margin
    • This method will show the convenience fee amount when creating your invoice, calculating it into your margin.

      The fee will be divided proportionally among all line items so your customers will not see the convenience fee.

  • Pass fees to the customer
    • This method will show the convenience fee amount when the customer clicks into the "Make a payment" screen from the invoice.

      • The total convenience fee is 3.2% of the total amount paid, in this case, the $5,008.92, plus a small $0.29 additional transaction fee. 
      • When choosing "Pass fees to customer", please refer to your local and state laws to learn about any potential restrictions involved in passing processing/convenience fees to your customers.

    Note: if an invoice is created prior to adjusting these settings, it will not reflect the new configurations. It is recommended that you void or delete the old Invoice and create a brand new one in order for any changes to take effect
