# Admin Fees

> Configure pass-the-fees surcharge to add processing fees to checkout by payment method

## Overview

Dynamically update the checkout pricing by adding administrative fees to the final amount based on the selected payment method.

With HitPay's Pass-the-Fees feature, you can now include a surcharge fee in the form of a fixed percentage (%). This feature can be customized for specific payment methods and HitPay sales channels (such as Shopify, WooCommerce, Payment Links, etc.).

### Note on Fees

<Note>Note: HitPay transaction fees are applied on the final amount, after the surcharge fee has been added. </Note>

Example:

* A product is \$100
* You've set a 5% fees
* The final amount on the payment page will reflect \$105
* HitPay transaction fees are then applied on $105 (Not $100)
  Hence, do set the % accordingly.

## FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I pass the exact fees that HitPay charges to the user?">
    No, it is not possible to pass the exact fees that HitPay charges because the fees depend on various factors that are hard to predict before the payment. It is recommended that you set an approximate fee based on your average order value. You can use the example widget to view the approximate values.
