# How to set up eco-fees

5. Check the box that says **Enable Automatic Eco-Fee Charge**
6. Decide whether you want the charge to apply **Per Invoice** or **Per Item**.
   - If you choose **Per Invoice**, it will apply whatever **Charge Amount** you set to each invoice.
   - If you choose **Per Item** then each service or product you want the fee to apply to will need to be edited within the **Retail Products** or **Services** areas.

7. **Description** is what the customer will see for the name of the charge on the receipt.
8. **Charge Amount** is the amount it will charge if you have **Per Invoice** selected.
9. **Charge Tax** allows you to change whether you calculate tax on the Eco-Fee balance. (No Taxes selection is recommended unless you need to tax it by law.)
10. **Refund Eco-Fee** is an option that shows up when you select **Per Item**. It makes it so the Eco-Fee refunds if the service or product is refunded.

Once this is all set up, Eco-Fees will start applying automatically to all applicable invoices.
