SiR Charge by Armstrong: Recoup Credit Card Fees with Ease

Transaction fees can significantly impact your bottom line. Armstrong is proud to introduce SiR Charge, a solution that adds a line item to cover credit card processing fees for online purchases within the iMIS database.

Why There Is a Convenience Fee

Every online credit card payment includes processing costs charged by banks and payment processors.

Instead of raising dues, event fees, or product prices across the board, your organization uses a convenience fee to:

  • Offset the cost of secure credit card processing
  • Keep core prices more stable for everyone
  • Ensure more of each payment supports the mission and services you rely on

SiR Charge is the tool that makes this possible inside the iMIS system.

How SiR Charge Works

SiR Charge is an iMIS add-on from Armstrong that:

  • Automatically calculates the fee based on rules set by your organization
  • Adds it as a separate line item in your cart for full transparency
  • Recalculates your total in real time as you update items in your cart

Your organization controls how the fee is set up, including the amount and where it applies (for example, dues, event registrations, store purchases, or other online payments).

In some cases, your organization may allow you to choose whether to pay the fee. In other cases, it may be required so they can fairly cover processing costs across all online transactions.

What This Means for You

Using SiR Charge does not change:

  • The security of your payment
  • How your personal information is handled
  • The confirmation or receipt process you receive

It simply makes the cost of credit card processing visible and keeps more of your payment focused on the programs, services, and benefits your organization provides.

For Organizations Using iMIS

SiR Charge is built specifically for iMIS and:

  • Integrates directly with iMIS online payments
  • Uses the iMIS General Lookup Table for fee configuration
  • Applies consistently across eligible online transactions
