PaymentChargeSpecification

A payment charge specification is a conceptual entity that specifies the additional costs asked for settling the payment after accepting a given gr:Offering using a particular gr:PaymentMethod. A payment charge specification is characterized by (1) a monetary amount per order specified as a literal value of type float in combination with a Currency, (2) the payment method, and (3) a whether this charge includes local sales taxes, namely VAT. A gr:Offering may be linked to multiple payment charge specifications that specify alternative charges for various payment methods.

Examples: Payment by VISA or Mastercard costs a fee of 3 Euros including VAT, payment by bank transfer in advance is free of charge.

The total amount of this surcharge is specified as a float value of the gr:hasCurrencyValue property. The currency is specified via the gr:hasCurrency datatype property. Whether the price includes VAT or not is indicated by the gr:valueAddedTaxIncluded datatype property. The gr:PaymentMethod to which this charge applies is specified using the gr:appliesToPaymentMethod object property.

If the price can only be given as a range, use gr:hasMaxCurrencyValue and gr:hasMinCurrencyValue for the upper and lower bounds.

Important: When querying for the price, always use gr:hasMaxCurrencyValue and gr:hasMinCurrencyValue.
