Funds in your account are essential to running your programs. If you have low funds some of your participants may face their smart cards being declined.
It's always recommended you add extra funds as well to ensure a successful program.
To explain:
We allow participants to link a personal payment method to their Hoppier card, so that they can spend over their balance if they choose! The overages to their personal payment method is capped at $50.00.
These charges will temporarily come out of your Funds, then once the payment processes from their personal bank account, it returns to the total balance you have available. This usually completes within a few hours, to a day or two.
Keeping this in mind, we advise you add a surplus of funds to the account, around 20% of your total needed funds, to ensure that the participants will have enough available to link a personal payment method to their accounts. Of course, these additional fees can be withdrawn once your program is complete, or used toward future events, and this is entirely optional, but a best practice nonetheless.
