# NoCeilingConsentSurchargePosture

A model the API reference uses in a request or a response. The operation pages link every field typed as this model here.

What a merchant's surcharge configuration does with a merchant-initiated recurring or installment
charge whose stored-credential consent recorded no surcharge ceiling: a consent captured before the
ceiling existed, or while the merchant was not surcharging recurring billing. The cardholder behind
such a consent was never told at enrollment that the charge could carry a surcharge.

## Values

| Value | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `Surcharge` | Surcharge the charge at the merchant's current rate under the network, state and cost-of-acceptance caps, as for any other charge. The default. |
| `Withhold` | Do not surcharge the charge. It is recorded as ineligible with ConsentRecordedNoCeiling. |
| `NoticeThenSurcharge` | Tell the cardholder the surcharge ceiling first, then surcharge from an effective date. A daily sweep emails each such consent's cardholder the ceiling and records it on the consent with an effective date a notice period later. Until a notice is recorded the charge is withheld with ConsentRecordedNoCeiling; until the effective date it is withheld with ConsentNoticePending; from then on it is surcharged, capped at the noticed ceiling. |
