The answer

If the questioner's job is merely to enter data onto a furniture sales website, and she has no relation to the transaction itself or to the condition of a late payment penalty, then she is not considered a witness to usury nor a scribe of it. The responsibility for that falls upon the two parties to the contract and whoever directly assists in it by writing it or bearing witness to it.
