Manually override transaction fees on invoices

Manually override transaction fee on invoices

We’ve made it simpler and clearer to manage transaction fees on invoices. Now, when you’re reviewing an invoice, you’ll see a new ‘Default’ option in the fee dropdown. This lets the system automatically choose the right fee for you, based on how your business operates.

If you need to change it, you still can—just pick a different option and that fee will remain, no matter how the invoice is paid.
