## Applying Surcharges
#### Customer Orders > [Customer Order] > Invoice
Once surcharges have been enabled and set up, the **Payment Methods** screen will have an additional Surcharge column when [invoicing customer orders](/v1/docs/customer-orders#invoicing-customer-orders).
If a payment amount is entered for an EFT or credit provider payment that has a surcharge set up, the surcharge will automatically be calculated in the surcharge column and added to the invoice total.
The total surcharges applied to an Invoice are shown in the **Includes Surcharge Of** section at the bottom of invoice outputs.
:::(Info) (Note)
Surcharges are not applied to cash out portions of customer invoices.

### Bypassing Surcharges
#### Customer Orders > [Customer Order] > Invoice > Payment Methods
Clicking an **EFT** or **Credit Provider** line in the Payment Method list (outside of the Amount cell) will open the **EFT Detail** pop-up window, showing further information about the transaction, including the **Customer Surcharge Rate**, **Surcharge Amount** and **Surcharge Tax**.
Ticking the **Surcharge Bypass** checkbox will prevent that payment type's surcharge being applied to the transaction.
