Once specified, these fees will be deducted from the authorization remaining balance without utilizing a punch.
*Please note: Client fees only apply to dollar-based authorizations. Client Fees can be mass-imported and mass-approved. To learn how to import Client Fees, see the article Admin Guide - Import Module in the Help Center.
