Offer discounts or charge fees based on payment gateways

The Payment Method-based Fee & Discounts extension enables you to add a fee or discount based on the payment gateways customers select during checkout. This extension helps to cover the additional costs of some payment methods and can offer discounts on preferred payment gateways.

With this extension, you can add a fee or discount in a fixed amount or percentage of the cart amount. You can also limit the minimum and maximum value of the fee or discount.

The extension uses rules-based management to add different payment-based fees or discounts and apply them to specific user roles, countries, and cart amount ranges.

Use cases

Charge an extra fee for COD

You can add additional charges to COD (cash on delivery) payments to discourage the use of COD or to cover any additional costs that your shipping company charges for COD delivery.

Conditional fees and discounts

You can apply fees and discounts to specific user roles, countries, and cart amount ranges.
