They basically tell you "we will charge this" and give you the terminal. I think that was at the border when I was paying for the entry visa, can't recall if I saw that anywhere else there.
When I went to Jordan, about six years ago, the officer taking my visa payment was adamant about charging me in dollars, hiding the terminal, and not letting me opt out of DCC. Chase refunded the entire charge.
