Default Re: Credit card surcharge for shipping to different address

It would probably be pretty straight-forward to check if the shipping address is not the same as the billing address and adding the surcharge, but checking what credit card the customer is using would be difficult, and what happens if the customer decides to change the credit card type half way through the process? See what I mean?

I agree it requires custom programming to accomplish this and as far as changing credit card type if they want to avoid a surcharge causing a complication, that would require javascript to add/remove the surcharge on the fly in the checkout process prior to completing the transaction. If I am correct, the billing/shipping address is not known until after the checkout has begun.

Not only is this a interesting challenge but then comes into play further challenges when upgrading the software. I was REALLY hoping someone had done something like this before and I would gladly have paid someone for this feature.

I guess it's up to me!
