Add a conditional extra checkout fee

This plugin allows you to add extra fees and taxes during checkout. You can enable or disable conditional fees based on your business needs. You can create the general rule title, fee type, and additional fee amount, and choose whether the fee is taxable or non-taxable. The plugin also lets you add tooltips to make the fields more understandable. Additionally, you can apply fees based on the selected currency.

Charge fee in Percentage or Fixed Amount

With conditional extra fees for WooCommerce extension, you can charge an extra fee based on a percentage or a fixed amount value. The percentage-based extra fee can be applied. You can also configure a percentage-based fee to be applied on:

• Subtotal
• Subtotal before tax
• Subtotal after tax
• Total before discount applied
• Total after discount applied

Charge an extra fee in different currencies

Some additional fees are applied in a currency different from the order currency. For example, when a store from the UAE sends items to the United States, merchants may have to pay duties in dollar amounts. Conditional extra fees for WooCommerce enable merchants to configure additional fees in different currency than the default store currency.

Show a customizable label and tooltip for extra fee

In order to keep customers informed on additional charges, the WooCommerce extra fee extension allows merchants to add a customizable title for the additional fee, and add a tooltip to let customers know about the charges in detail.

Make extra fee optional or required

The additional fees added via WooCommerce extra fee extension can be made optional or mandatory depending on fee nature. If a fee is optional, then a checkbox will be displayed, and upon checking, it will be added to the total. If it’s required, then the fee will be added directly to the total and cannot be removed by the customer.

Add multiple scenario-based fees

The rule-based implementation enables merchants to create and add multiple additional fees based on different scenarios.

Add conditional logic to charge extra fees

A fee in addition to the order total can be made dependant on conditional logic. It allows merchants to add fees based on certain conditions i.e “If cart contains product x then apply fee”. If you have created multiple logics in a single rule then you can choose to apply fee if: All conditions are applied and Any one of the condition is applied.

The following logics can be applied to filters: Equals to, Less than equals to, More than equals to, Less than, and More than.
