Upcharge

Upcharge is used as the billing counterpart to marketing's upsell.[1][2]

The term may refer to:

  • Paying a smaller increment in price for a larger increase in what is received; in another it means paying an increase for a non-standard arrangement,[2] what one writer called "upcharge money."[3]
  • A convenience fee:[4] a pharmacy that carries basic grocery items and charges higher prices for the non-pharmaceutical one-stop-shopping items.[5] While a surcharge is part of what must be paid, an upcharge is not always unexpected,[6] and usually can be declined by rejecting the additional service or the suggested upgrade, albeit receiving less.[1]

The practice of amusement parks to charge both for admission and then for individual rides may be described as "Upcharge attraction".[7]

The term upcharge is sometimes used as a synonym for charge or surcharge.[8]
