Tokenization

Skipify supports Network Tokenization to allow for flexibility across several different payment service providers and gateways. Skipify is a Certified PCI Level 1 Service Provider and SOC-2 Compliant.

Surcharging

Skipify supports 2 types of surcharge fees via a merchant account configuration.

As a merchant, there are surcharging laws and rules you must follow. Please confirm with your payment service provider and/or legal counsel to confirm the settings you should use for your merchant account.

In general, Skipify handles displaying the relevant surcharge amount along with disclaimers for the shopper in the UI and incorporating the surcharge amount in the order total for payment processing.

Standard Surcharge

This configuration allows a flat or percentage based surcharge fee to automatically be added to a shopper's order total when they are paying with an eligible payment method (i.e.: credit card).

You are responsible to determining the allowed surcharge amount based on your business locality. Skipify manages a a BIN lookup when a shopper selects a payment method to confirm whether or not a surcharge can be applied to the payment method.

Worldpay FeeAssist Surcharge

🚧

Available only for merchants or platforms utilizing Worldpay Express (direct) processing. Prerequisite onboarding with Worldpay FeeAssist on relevant Worldpay MIDs.

This configuration outsources the surcharge management to Worldpay FeeAssist's program. Set this (Skipify) merchant account configuration on so that Skipify can call out to FeeAssist to apply the relevant flat surcharge fee amount.

General Fees

Skipify supports additional "General" fees via a merchant account configuration. This allows for a flat or percentage based fee to automatically be added to a customer's order total, with a description you choose. This will be added to the total base amount of the transaction to be sent to the payment service provider.

If you are creating merchant accounts via API, you can find documentation for enabling this on your merchant accounts here. Otherwise, please work with your Skipify Implementation Engineer to enable this for your account(s).

Here is how General Fees are enabled in the Skipify Merchant Portal:

When a shopper is checking out when General Fees have been added - Skipify adds the fee as a separate line item and calculates the new total for you.

Level 2 and Level 3 Processing

Skipify supports the capability to include additional line items details to qualify for lower interchange rates for certain cards and certain merchants.
