Setting up your Rocket Matter Account for Surcharging.
With Rocket Matter Pay, you have the option to set up your account with surcharging which permits Rocket Matter Pay to seek processing fees directly from your client. Surcharging is NOT available until you have applied for Rocket Matter Payments and have been approved to process with surcharging capability.
Once you have set up Rocket Matter Pay, for Surcharging, the redirection of processing fees for credit, debit card and ACH e-check transactions will happen automatically. Click here to learn more about surcharging with Rocket Matter Pay.

- Credit card surcharging rate is 3.31% (3.85% AMEX) per transaction.
