A new fee model is detached by default. When you create one, you also must attach it to an account, a program, or an organization. Otherwise, it will not be applied. You can attach a fee model at the following levels of detail:

• Organization level—Attach to all accounts in your organization, regardless of which program contains the account.
• Program level—Attach to all accounts within a specific program.
• Account level—Attach to selected accounts, regardless of which program they are in.

You can't use Control Center to attach fee models to accounts. To do this, you must use the endpoint Attach fee model to account.

Note that these levels are hierarchical — for any operation performed on an account, the platform applies the most specific fee model, starting with the account level.

Attach a fee model to an organization

Every organization on the platform is attached to a default fee model. This model is used whenever a platform operation requires a fee model but none is attached at the account or program level.

2. Select the fee model you want to attach.
3. On the Fee Model Details screen, open the Association type tab.
4. Select Associate to organization.
5. In the confirmation dialog, select Yes.
6. Select Next.
7. On the Review screen, select Finish.

Attach a fee model to a program

You can attach fee model to multiple programs at a time.

Link a fee model with platform operations

Optionally, you can link a fee model with one or more platform operations, such as a credit transaction. To do this, attach one or more processing codes to the fee model. In cases where no charges are applied, simply do not include a processing code.

1. On the main menu, select Configurations > Fee models.
2. On the Fee model details screen, select the fee model you want to link and then select Edit.
3. On the Processing code screen, select each processing code you want to link and select Next.
