Enabling Rate Saver
Rate Saver is an opt-in feature that enables you to save even more on your payment processing fees by applying a surcharge to credit card transactions and benefiting from lower debit card fees.
Note: Rate Saver is available only with the Point of Sale Plus plan or the Invoicing and & Pay Links Plus plan. Besides Rate Saver, these plans include a wide range of additional features.
Warning: Before enabling Rate Saver, you must read our credit surcharging guide thoroughly. Several US states and territories have rules and regulations regarding applying surcharges to credit card transactions, as outlined in the guide. You are responsible for reviewing, understanding and complying with your local rules and regulations. GoDaddy bears no liability regarding your compliance with these rules. Consult your local counsel if you have further questions regarding these regulations.
