# Collect Gateway Specific Convenience Fee from Customers

> You can set a specific fee for each payment gateway used for payments made through Optimizer. This allows you to charge an additional fee to your customers, helping you recover costs such as online payment gateway charges.

Convenience fees are smoothly integrated into Razorpay Checkout, ensuring a seamless customer experience. In case of a refund, the customer receives both the convenience fee and the original payment amount.

  * This feature is **not available** for:

## Enable Customer Fee Bearer

To enable customer fee bearer for your account:

* Reach out to your Account Manager and share the fees with them that need to be configured for each payment gateway.

## How it Works

Given below is the customer payment flow:

  </Step>

  <Step title="Step 3">
    The **Fee Breakup** page containing the Convenience Fee appears, and the customer clicks **Continue and pay**.
  </Step>

## 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.
