# Applying surcharges and service charges

## If needed, surcharges can be used to cover additional operational costs on weekends, public holidays and more.

### Surcharges

**✨ Using Lightspeed?** Bopple will automatically sync Lightspeed's [Price List](https://o-series-support.lightspeedhq.com/hc/en-us/articles/31329476729371-Setting-up-Price-Lists) feature. Any happy hours, weekend or public holiday surcharges will automatically pull across to Bopple.

Surcharges can be used for any case where you need to temporarily add an additional amount on customer orders, such as weekends or public holidays where you might need to offset increased staffing costs. 

- Go to **[Back Office](http://my.bopple.com) ➜ Store Settings ➜ Surcharges ➜ Surcharge Fees**
- Enter your preferred percentage surcharge amount
- If you don't want to apply the surcharge to all order types, you can specify
- Click **Save**

**![surcharge](https://help.bopple.com/hs-fs/hubfs/surcharge.gif?width=688&height=259&name=surcharge.gif)**

**Recurring and scheduled surcharges are coming soon**

For now you can quickly and easily enable and disable your surcharges whenever you need via Bopple Back Office.

- Go to **[Back Office](http://my.bopple.com) ➜ Store Settings ➜ Surcharges ➜ Service charges**
- Enter your preferred percentage service charge amount
- Select which order types you want to apply the service charge to
- Click **Save**
