* [WIP] Implement automatic spell-check for docs fixes #663 The only thing unclear to me so far is how the output of `make spelling` should be checked - is there a possibility to check for a file (i.e. `_build/spelling/output.txt`) to be empty, and report a failed build otherwise? * fix typo in requirements.txt * add enchant library * travis should report errors, order spelling wordlist * change travis.yml to easier troubleshoot build issues * fixed more typos, added more words * add more words, fix more typos * added more words * added more words * revert changes to .travis.yml

Payment method fees
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Most external payment providers like PayPal or Stripe charge substantial fees for your service. In general, you have
|
|
two options to deal with this:
|
|
|
|
1. Pay the fees yourself
|
|
|
|
2. Add the fees to your customer's total
|
|
|
|
The choice totally depends on you and what your customers expect from you. Option two might be appropriate if you
|
|
offer different payment methods and want to encourage your customers to use the ones that come you cheaper, but you
|
|
might also decide to go for option one to make it easier for customers who don't have the option.
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: Please note that EU Directive 2015/2366 bans surcharging payment fees for most common payment
|
|
methods within the European Union. Depending on the payment method, this might affect
|
|
selling to consumers only or to business customers as well. Depending on your country, this
|
|
legislation might already be in place or become relevant from January 2018 the latest. This is not
|
|
legal advice. If in doubt, consult a lawyer or refrain from charging payment fees.
|
|
|
|
If you go for the first option (as you should in the EU), you can just leave the payment fee fields in pretix' settings
|
|
empty.
|
|
|
|
If you go for the second option, you can configure pretix to charge the payment method fees to your user. You can
|
|
define both an absolute fee as well as a percental fee based on the order total. If you do so, there are two
|
|
different ways in which pretix can calculate the fee. Normally, it is fine to just go with the default setting, but
|
|
in case you are interested, here are all the details:

Payment fee calculation
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
If you configure a fee for a payment method, there are two possible ways for us to calculate this. Let's
|
|
assume that your payment provider, e.g. PayPal, charges you 5 % fees and you want to charge your users the
|
|
same 5 %, such that for a ticket with a list price of 100 € you will get your full 100 €.
|
|
|
|
**Method A: Calculate the fee from the subtotal and add it to the bill.**
|
|
|
|
For a ticket price of 100 €, this will lead to the following calculation:
|
|
|
|
============================================== ============
|
|
Ticket price 100.00 €
|
|
pretix calculates the fee as 5 % of 100 € +5.00 €
|
|
Subtotal that will be paid by the customer 105.00 €
|
|
PayPal calculates its fee as 5 % of 105 € -5.25 €
|
|
End total that is on your bank account **99.75 €**
|
|
============================================== ============
|
|
|
|
**Method B (default): Calculate the fee from the total value including the fee.**
|
|
|
|
For a ticket price of 100 €, this will lead to the following calculation:
|
|
|
|
===================================================== =============
|
|
Ticket price 100.00 €
|
|
pretix calculates the fee as 100/(100 - 5) % of 100 € +5.26 €
|
|
Subtotal that will be paid by the customer 105.26 €
|
|
PayPal calculates its fee as 5 % of 105 € -5.26 €
|
|
End total that is on your bank account **100.00 €**
|
|
===================================================== =============
|
|
|
|
Due to the various rounding steps performed by pretix and by the payment provider, the end total on
|
|
your bank account might still vary by one cent.
