Fee Recovery for Gravity Forms
Automatically add a payment processing fee to your Gravity Forms order total so you keep your full earnings.
What it does
Payment processors take a cut of every transaction, which eats into what you actually receive. Fee Recovery lets you pass that cost on to the payer by adding a fixed amount, a percentage, or both to the form total before payment is collected.
You can offer the fee as an opt-in checkbox—handy for donation forms where supporters are happy to cover costs—or make it mandatory so it applies to every submission. The running total updates live on the form, so the amount shown is exactly what gets charged. An optional breakdown displays the subtotal, processing fee, and total due.
Because the fee is added as a line item to the Gravity Forms order total rather than tied to a specific gateway, it works alongside any Gravity Forms payment add-on, including Stripe, PayPal, Square, and Authorize.Net.
