What Are Application Fees?

Learn what application fees are on Saucey-powered orders, including delivery fees, driver tips, and the $2 compliance fee. Understand when these fees are charged.

In this context, application fees refer to order-related fees that Saucey collects on your behalf, not payment processor underwriting or setup fees.

These fees apply to orders placed through your Saucey-powered website and include:

  • Delivery fees

  • Customer delivery tips

  • Compliance fees of $2 per order


Why Is a Card on File Required?

Saucey must have a valid credit card on file to collect application fees associated with customer orders.

This allows Saucey to:

  • Collect delivery fees charged to customers

  • Pass through delivery tips to drivers

  • Collect the required $2 per-order compliance fee

These fees are processed outside of your payment processor, which means they cannot be deducted from your payment payouts.


When Are These Fees Charged?

Application fees are charged:

  • Per store, per day, not per individual transaction

  • 2–3 business days after orders are placed

  • After orders are completed

  • Automatically to the card on file

Charges may appear as multiple line items, depending on the orders processed that day, such as delivery fees, delivery tips, and compliance fees.


Are These Fees Refunded if an Order Is Refunded?

  • Delivery fees, tips, and compliance fees are generally non-refundable

  • If an order is refunded, application fees may still apply depending on whether the order was fulfilled

If you believe a fee was charged in error, our support team can review the order with you.


Important Things to Know

  • These are order-level fees, not underwriting or setup fees

  • Fees are charged per store, per day after orders are completed

  • Without a card on file, Saucey cannot connect or maintain your payment processor integration
