A surcharge can be applied to Debit Purchase transactions with or without cashback, where the card has been swiped or inserted on the terminal (or external PINpad, if equipped). The surcharge amount will be added to the total amount displayed on the screen after all other amounts have been entered (e.g. Tip, Cashback). The table below illustrates how this might work in practice.
