Other Transaction Cost: Custom Payment Processing Fees

User-defined transaction costs from order cost entries—additional payment processing fees beyond standard gateway charges.

Formula

Other Transaction Cost = SUM ( Order Cost Entries ) WHERE category = Transaction

Formula Components

Example

Your store had $1,247 in other transaction costs this month across 892 orders:

Cost Type	Amount	Per Order
Currency conversion fees	$523	$0.59
Cross-border processing	$412	$0.46
Chargeback fees	$312	$0.35

How It Works

Other Transaction Cost sums custom transaction-related expenses you’ve added to order cost entries with the Transaction category. These fees are separate from standard gateway processing fees and typically include currency conversion, cross-border charges, or specialized payment method costs.
