# How to Create a Charge

Follow these steps to add a named order-level charge to your store catalog.

## Step-by-Step Guide

Click the sidebar menu icon to open navigation.

Go to **Configurations**. Under **Payments & Tax**, select **Charges**.

Tap **New Charge**.

Fill in the charge details. See [Field Explanations](/docs/store/charge/overview#field-explanations) for more detail.

- **Enable** — turn on to make the charge active.
- **Name** — e.g. Service charge, Corkage, Rush fee.
- **Rate Type** — Fixed, or Percentage of the order total **after discounts**.
- **Rate** — the amount or percentage.
- **Auto-apply** — optionally apply this charge to new orders by default.
- **Service Modes** — appears only with **Auto-apply** on. Limits the automatic application to specific modes; leave it empty for all. A charge the cashier picks by hand applies whatever the order's service mode is, so there is nothing to scope.

Tap **Save**. The charge is available on the POS register **Charges** sheet.

## Tips

- Seeded template charges (when present) can be edited here instead of creating duplicates.
- Percentage rates should match the policy you publish to guests (for example 10% service charge).
