# Collect Standard Convenience Fees from Customers

> You can configure a particular fee for every payment made using Optimizer with the help of the Customer Fee Bearer feature. You can charge an additional fee to your customers to help you recover costs such as as online payment gateway charges.

Convenience fees are seamlessly added at Razorpay Checkout without disrupting customers checkout experience. If a refund is initiated, your customers receive the convenience fees and the actual payment amount.

## Communication

You should inform customers about the convenience fees, as we do not notify them of them except at checkout. In the Razorpay payment acknowledgement email sent after a successful payment, the convenience fees are included in the total amount without a breakdown.
