# Transaction fees

Learn how you can handle the fees incurred by transactions.

[View source](/platforms/in-person-payments/transaction-fees.md)

Transaction fees refer to the costs you incur on a transaction in your platform that are not known at the time of payment. They are calculated by Adyen after we receive the payment request. By default, these costs are deducted from your liable balance account, but there are some payment-related fees that you can book to your user by including split instructions in your requests.

## Requirements

If your platform can already process payments, there are no additional requirements, limitations, or preparations.

## Payment-related fees

While Adyen deducts all payment-related fees from your platform's liable balance account by default, you can decide to book them directly to your user. This is useful if you want to pass on the transaction fees, instead of settling this later by transferring funds between balance accounts. You can charge the following fees directly to your user:

* Interchange
* Scheme Fees
* Adyen's Markup
* Adyen's Commission

There are other fees due to Adyen that *cannot* be passed on to your users in payment requests:

* Processing costs: These fees are aggregated and also applicable to refused and cancelled payments. Therefore, they cannot be allocated to individual payments. This also applies to other aggregated fees, such as 3DS enrollment costs.
* Tiered pricing: Any discounts that are derived from tiered pricing structures cannot be allocated to individual payments.

## Transaction fee types

You can book different types of transaction fees to different balance accounts in your platform. Depending on whether you want to aggregate fees or book individual fee types to specific balance accounts, you can include additional split items with a different `type` in your request.

| Type                | Aggregated fees                                                                                               | Description                                                                                                                         |

To make reconciliation easier, we recommend to always include split instructions for the transaction fees in your payment or capture request, even if you want to deduct the fees from your liable balance account. If you don't include booking instructions for any of the transaction fee types in your payment request, Adyen automatically updates the request to include the **PaymentFee** split type, deducting all transaction fees from your platform's liable balance account.

The following diagram shows how the transaction fee types relate to each other.

![](/user/pages/reuse/pfs-payments/transaction-fees/fee-types/split_types.svg?decoding=auto\&fetchpriority=auto)

If you send a payment request with multiple split items for different transaction fee types, they are processed based on the granularity of the fee type. The booking instructions sent for more granular fee types override the instructions for the aggregated fees.

| Type                | Behavior                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **PaymentFee**      | If another fee type is sent in the request as well, it overrides part of the instructions sent for **PaymentFee**: that specific fee type is booked to another balance account, while the remaining fee types are booked to the balance account specified for **PaymentFee**. |
| **AcquiringFees**   | Overrides part of the instructions sent for the **PaymentFee** split type, booking the Interchange and Scheme fees to another balance account.                                                                                                                                |
| **Interchange**     | Overrides part of the instructions sent for the **PaymentFee** or **AcquiringFees** split types, booking the Interchange to another balance account.                                                                                                                          |
| **SchemeFee**       | Overrides part of the instructions sent for the **PaymentFee** or **AcquiringFees** split types, booking the Scheme fees to another balance account.                                                                                                                          |
| **AdyenFees**       | Overrides part of the instructions sent for the **PaymentFee** split type, booking Adyen's Commission and Markup to another balance account.                                                                                                                                  |
| **AdyenCommission** | Overrides part of the instructions sent for the **PaymentFee** or **AdyenFees** split type, booking Adyen's Commission to another balance account.                                                                                                                            |
| **AdyenMarkup**     | Overrides part of the instructions sent for the **PaymentFee** or **AdyenFees** split type, booking Adyen's Markup to another balance account.                                                                                                                                |

For example, you can include two split items for transaction fees in your payment request:

* `type` **AdyenMarkup**: book Adyen's Markup to your platform's liable balance account
* `type` **PaymentFee**: book all other transaction fees (interchange, scheme fees, and Adyen's commission) to your user's balance account

**Split items for transaction fees**

```raw
split.item3.type=PaymentFee
split.item3.account=BA00000000000000000000001
split.item3.reference=Your reference for the payment fees
split.item3.description=Your description for the payment fees
split.item4.type=AdyenMarkup
split.item4.account=BA00000000000000000LIABLE
split.item4.reference=Your reference for the Markup
split.item4.description=Your description for the Markup
```

If only the **PaymentFee** were specified in the request, all transaction fees would be booked to the same balance account, because **PaymentFee** aggregates all fee types, including the Markup. However, because **AdyenMarkup** is also sent in the request, and it is on a more granular level than **PaymentFee**, **AdyenMarkup** overrides **PaymentFee** for booking the Markup. This means that the Interchange, Scheme fee, and Adyen's Commission are booked to the user's balance account **BA00000000000000000000001**, while the Markup is booked to your liable account **BA00000000000000000LIABLE**.

## Book transaction fees to specific balance accounts

The following example shows a split payment request for USD 80.00 where:

* USD 75.00 is credited to your user's balance account as payment for the goods or services rendered.
* USD 5.00 is credited to your liable balance account as your platform's commission.
* The acquiring fees (the aggregated amount of the Interchange and Scheme fees) are deducted from your user's balance account.
* The fees due to Adyen (the aggregated amount of Adyen's Commission and Markup) are deducted from your liable balance account.

To book the transaction fees to different balance accounts:

1. Gather and format the split instructions in one of the following ways:

   * **Option 1**: as a string of form-encoded key-value pairs (using **&** as a separator).
   * **Option 2**: as a JSON object converted to a Base64-encoded string.

   ### Tab: Key-value pairs

   1. Turn the split instructions you gathered into key-value pairs.

      **Data for the split payment**

      ```raw
      split.api=1
      split.nrOfItems=4
      split.totalAmount=8000
      split.currencyCode=USD
      split.item1.amount=7500
      split.item1.type=BalanceAccount
      split.item1.account=BA00000000000000000000001
      split.item1.reference=Your reference for the sale amount
      split.item1.description=Your description for the sale amount
      split.item2.amount=500
      split.item2.type=Commission
      split.item2.reference=Your reference for your commission
      split.item2.description=Your description for your commission
      split.item3.type=AcquiringFees
      split.item3.account=BA00000000000000000000001
      split.item3.reference=Your reference for the acquiring fees
      split.item3.description=Your description for the acquiring fees
      split.item4.type=AdyenFees
      split.item4.account=BA00000000000000000LIABLE
      split.item4.reference=Your reference for the Adyen fees
      split.item4.description=Your description for the Adyen fees
      ```

   2. Concatenate the key-value pairs into a string by separating them with ampersands (**&**).

      **Concatenated key-value pairs**

      ```bash
      split.api=1&split.nrOfItems=4&split.totalAmount=8000&split.currencyCode=USD&split.item1.amount=7500&split.item1.type=BalanceAccount&split.item1.account=BA00000000000000000000001&split.item1.reference=Your reference for the sale amount&split.item1.description=Your description for the sale amount&split.item2.amount=500&split.item2.type=Commission&split.item2.reference=Your reference for your commission&split.item2.description=Your description for your commission&split.item3.type=AcquiringFees&split.item3.account=BA00000000000000000000001&split.item3.reference=Your reference for the acquiring fees&split.item3.description=Your description for the acquiring fees&split.item4.type=AdyenFees&split.item4.account=BA00000000000000000LIABLE&split.item4.reference=Your reference for the Adyen fees&split.item4.description=Your description for the Adyen fees
      ```

   ### Tab: Base64-encoded JSON

   1. Create a JSON object consisting of an `additionalData` object containing the split instructions you gathered.

      **JSON object**

      ```json
      {
         "additionalData":{
            "split.api":"1",
            "split.nrOfItems":"4",
            "split.totalAmount":"8000",
            "split.currencyCode":"USD",
            "split.item1.amount":"7500",
            "split.item1.type":"BalanceAccount",
            "split.item1.account":"BA00000000000000000000001",
            "split.item1.reference":"Your reference for the sale amount",
            "split.item1.description":"Your description for the sale amount",
            "split.item2.amount":"500",
            "split.item2.type":"Commission",
            "split.item2.reference":"Your reference for your commission",
            "split.item2.description":"Your description for your commission",
            "split.item3.type":"AcquiringFees",
            "split.item3.account":"BA00000000000000000000001",
            "split.item3.reference":"Your reference for the acquiring fees",
            "split.item3.description":"Your description for the acquiring fees",
            "split.item4.type":"AdyenFees",
            "split.item4.account":"BA00000000000000000LIABLE",
            "split.item4.reference":"Your reference for the Adyen fees",
            "split.item4.description":"Your description for the Adyen fees"
         }
      }
      ```

   2. Encode the JSON object to Base64.

      **Base64 string**

      ```bash
       
      ```

2. [Make a Terminal API payment request](/platforms/online-payments/split-transactions/split-payments-at-authorization), passing the formatted string of split instructions in the `SaleToAcquirerData` field of the [PaymentRequest](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/terminal-api/latest/post/payment) object.

   **Payment with fee split instructions as key-value pairs**

               }
           }
       }
   }
   ```

3. When you receive the [PaymentResponse](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/terminal-api/latest/post/payment#responses-200), note the following:

   * `PaymentResponse.Response.Result`: **Success**
   * `POIData.POITransactionID.TransactionID`: The [transaction identifier](/point-of-sale/design-your-integration/terminal-api#transaction-identifier) in the format *tenderReference.pspReference*. Use the PSP reference to keep track of the payment. For example, **BV0q001765796274001.DQ56GRJ5S8NKGK82**.

   ```json
   {
    "SaleToPOIResponse": {
      "MessageHeader": {...},
      "PaymentResponse": {
        "POIData": {
          "POITransactionID": {
            "TimeStamp": "...",
            "TransactionID":"BV0q001765198054002.DQ56GRJ5S8NKGK82"
          }
        },

        "PaymentResult": {...},
        "Response": {
          "AdditionalResponse": "...posAuthAmountCurrency=USD&posAuthAmountValue=8000&...pspReference=DQ56GRJ5S8NKGK82...",
          "Result": "Success",
        },
        "SaleData": {...}
      }
    }
   }
   ```

## Track fund movements

To track the status of the fund transfers initiated by fees incurred by transactions processed through Adyen:

1. Listen to the following webhooks:

   * [Transfer webhooks](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/overview): Adyen sends a [balancePlatform.transfer.created](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transfer.created) webhook to inform your server that funds will be credited to balance accounts, and [balancePlatform.transfer.updated](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transfer.updated) webhooks after every status change.
   * [Transaction webhooks](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transaction-webhooks/latest/overview): Adyen sends a [balancePlatform.transaction.created](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transaction-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transaction.created) webhook to inform your server that funds have been credited to a balance account.

2. Acknowledge the webhooks. We send these webhooks for every split item in the payment.

3. In the payload of the [balancePlatform.transfer.updated](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transfer.updated) webhook, note that:

   * The `event` array includes all previous transfer events.
   * The `sequenceNumber` defines the number of webhooks sent for the transfer, including the current one.

### Webhook examples

The following tabs show the webhooks you would receive for transaction fees included in the example [payment request](#transaction-fees-request).

### Tab: Acquiring fees

As specified in the payment request, the acquiring fees (the aggregated amount of the Interchange and Scheme fees) are deducted from your user's balance account.

**

### 1. Outgoing transfer received

Once the acquiring fees are calculated, Adyen sends a [balancePlatform.transfer.created](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transfer.created) webhook with `direction` **outgoing** and `status` **received**, to announce that the **acquiring fees** will be deducted from your user's balance account. This is the aggregated amount of the interchange and scheme fees.

### Tab: Adyen's fees

As specified in the payment request, the fees due to Adyen (the aggregated amount of Adyen's Commission and Markup) are deducted from your user's balance account.

**

### 1. Outgoing transfer received

Once the fees due to Adyen are calculated for the payment, we send a [balancePlatform.transfer.created](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transfer.created) webhook with `direction` **outgoing**, to announce that **Adyen's fees** will be deducted from your platform's liable balance account. This is the aggregated amount of Adyen's commission and markup.

### 3. Outgoing transfer captured

When the funds are deducted from your platform's liable balance account, we send a [balancePlatform.transfer.updated](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transfer.updated) webhook with `status` **captured** and the `transactionId`.

### 4. Transaction booked

When the funds are deducted, Adyen also sends a [balancePlatform.transaction.created](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transaction-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transaction.created) webhook, which includes information about the related transaction.

**Transaction created**

```

## Reports and reconciliation

In the [Balance Platform Accounting Report](/platforms/reports-and-fees/balance-platform-accounting-report), all aggregated transaction fee types (**PaymentFee**, **AcquiringFees**, **AdyenFees**) have their own rows. For these fee types, we show the aggregated amount of the fees in the **Amount** column. For example, the row for all acquiring fees contains the sum of the interchange and scheme fee incurred by the transaction. However, the transaction fee types are also shown separately, on the most granular level, in the four **Platform Payment** columns (**Interchange**, **Scheme Fee**, **Markup**, **Commission**).

If you do not send split instructions for any transaction fee type in your payment or capture request, Adyen automatically adds the `type` parameter with the **PaymentFee** value to the request, booking all transaction fees to your platform's liable balance account. This is also reflected in your report.

You can [download a sample report](/reuse/pfs-payments/transaction-fees/reporting/Example_balanceplatform_accounting_report_2023_09_04.csv) that would be generated based on the example [payment request](#transaction-fees-request).
