SiR Charge by Armstrong: Streamline Your Transactions and Optimize Revenue

Recover credit card processing fees directly through iMIS

Credit card fees can add up quickly.

When members pay dues, register for events, purchase products, or complete other transactions online, your organization absorbs the processing cost.

SiR Charge helps recover those fees by adding a credit card processing fee to eligible online transactions in iMIS.

The fee appears as a separate line item during checkout, giving your organization a clear and consistent way to offset processing costs.

What SiR Charge Does

SiR Charge adds a configurable credit card processing fee to online transactions in iMIS.

It can be used for:

Membership dues
Subscriptions
Event registrations
Store purchases
Other eligible online transactions

The fee is added during checkout and included in the total before the transaction is completed.

Your organization can choose whether the fee is required or optional.

How It Works

SiR Charge works within the standard iMIS purchase process.

When a user completes an eligible transaction, the processing fee is added to the cart as a separate line item. The total is then recalculated before payment.

The fee amount can be managed through the iMIS General Lookup Table in the Staff Site.

This gives staff the ability to update the fee without changing the checkout process or managing it through a separate system.

Key Features
