FAQ

What is the guest-facing fee?

For participating merchants, there will be a $0.99 guest-facing fee, called the “Order processing fee”, that will be paid for by the guest when placing any orders via Toast Mobile Order & PayTM, effective on the date stated in your email offer as a participating merchant. As described below, however, you may elect to absorb the Order processing fee on behalf of your guests. The Order processing fee will appear as an “Order processing fee” for each guest when they are checking out on any Toast Mobile Order & PayTM order. Please note that the Order processing fee and the questions addressed here apply only to a limited pool of merchants participating in the Order processing fee program. 

Where will the Order processing fee be shown on my end?

You can see details about the Order processing fee on the Service Charges configuration page: 

• Service Charges Configuration - The Order processing fee will appear as an additional item on the Service Charges configuration page.

What will the Order processing fee look like to my guests?

The Order processing fee will show up prior to completing checkout and on receipts for all Toast Mobile Order & PayTM orders as an Order processing fee. There will be an information pop-up box (ℹ) next to the Order processing fee line that explains to the guest that the Order processing fee is collected by Toast for orders placed when using Toast Mobile Order & PayTM and is included in the total that reads “This fee helps Toast to cover its operational costs for supporting a digital order and payment platform.”

What does the Order processing fee apply to?

The Order processing fee applies to all orders placed through Toast Mobile Order & PayTM. This includes any orders for gift cards or other items bought through your Toast Mobile Order & PayTM channel.

How is the Order processing fee collected by Toast? 

The $0.99 Order processing fee is collected from guests at checkout  (see below regarding how you may opt to absorb the fee on behalf of your guests). Toast later collects the Order processing fee from your restaurant (along with card processing fees) by debiting your settlement account by ACH on the last day of each month.

Do other Mobile Dining Solutions include an Order processing fee?

No, only orders placed through Toast Mobile Order & PayTM  will include the Order processing fee at this time.

Can I split the Order processing fee with my guests?

The Order processing fee can’t be split. However, you can choose to absorb the entire Order processing fee yourself and not pass it on to your guests.

How do I turn off the Order processing fee for my customers and elect to pay it myself instead?

PLEASE BE AWARE

• If you decline to apply the Order processing fee to your guests, you will remain responsible for the $0.99 Order processing fee for all orders placed through Toast Mobile Order & PayTM.

• Toast will collect the applicable amounts directly from you for such orders by ACH transfer or deduction from your daily deposit (as described above).

• If you want to resume passing the Order processing fee through to your guests, please reach out to toastpayments@toasttab.com.

What are card-not-present (CNP) transactions?

Any transaction where a card or digital wallet is not physically presented to be swiped/dipped/tapped on-premise for payment are deemed CNP. This includes digital transactions (e.g. online orders, delivery orders, Toast TakeOut, Toast Mobile Order & PayTM, Scan to Pay) and keyed transactions (e.g. manually-entered, phone orders).
