Hold Options Dialog Box - Charges Tab

This tab sets a charge for hold requests (system-level only). The amount is automatically added to the patron’s account when the hold request is filled. You can also specify message text that appears in PAC when patrons attempt to create a hold request, to notify patrons of the amount they will be charged (maximum 500 characters). See Set Holds options: Charge for hold requests.

Important:
If you choose to charge fees for hold requests, and you want the charge to apply to hold requests from Polaris PowerPAC Children’s Edition, set the Children’s PAC profile Allow hold requests if charging for holds to Yes. The profile is available at the system, library, and branch levels; the default setting is No. If you choose to charge a fee for hold requests and you leave the Children’s PAC profile set to No, hold requests cannot be placed in Polaris PowerPAC Children’s Edition.
