Who is this article for?
  • Atlas users with Admin permissions.
  • Merchants adding a temporary charge for holidays, weekends, or peak periods.
A surcharge adds an extra charge to orders during a period you choose. You decide whether it is a fixed amount or a percentage, and which outlet, brand, and fulfilment types it applies to. While it is active, it is added automatically, and customers see it at checkout before they pay.
Looking for GST / tax settings? They are managed by the Atlas team, not in your Settings. Contact support at hello@atlas.kitchen or your shared WhatsApp group to change them.
