convenience fee
Extra payment required
A convenience fee is a charge added for using an alternative payment method or channel—typically when paying online, by phone, or with a credit card instead of by check or in person.
The name frames the surcharge as payment for added ease, though customers often find it anything but convenient: The ticket price was $50, but with the convenience fee it came to $58.
