Adding surcharges to shipments in PitneyShip Pro

You can add surcharges to shipments to add percentage-based or flat fees to shipments, such as handling fees, processing fees, warehouse charges, etc.

Surcharges can be applied to all shipping labels except those printed from the Ship Orders screen. Surcharges can be removed for individual shipments as needed before printing the label.
