Magento 2 Checkout Extra Fee & Surcharge Extension

Add an extra fee at checkout only to the orders that cost more

Some orders cost a store more than others: cash on delivery, a card payment with a processing fee, a tiny order that still needs packing, a heavy parcel, a bulky item that needs special handling. If you build those costs into your prices, every customer pays for them, including the ones who never choose those options.

Checkout Extra Fee & Surcharge keeps your base prices clean and adds a fee only to the orders that match your rules. Each rule decides:

• when the fee applies: payment or shipping method, cart subtotal, weight, address, products in the cart, customer group, day and time
• how much to charge: a fixed amount, a percentage or a rate per product, item or unit of weight, with optional minimum and maximum limits
• what the customer sees: the fee's own label as a separate line in the cart, checkout, emails and invoices

You can run as many fee rules as you need, and one order can carry several fees at once.

Fees are built from conditions and rates, so one extension covers the fee types stores usually ask for:

• Payment method fee. Add a fixed fee for Cash on Delivery, or a percentage of the order subtotal for a card or PayPal payment to cover the processing cost.
• Small order fee. Charge a fixed fee when the cart subtotal is below the amount you set, so small orders still cover packing and handling.
• Product or handling fee. Add a fee only for selected products, for example a setup, disposal or oversize fee, charged once per product or for every unit in the cart.
• Weight fee. Charge a rate per unit of weight for heavy orders, or only for the heavy products in the cart.
• Shipping method or destination fee. Add a fee for express shipping, a specific carrier, or delivery to selected countries, regions, cities or postcodes.
• Customer group fee. Apply a fee to wholesale or guest customers only, and leave other groups untouched.

Conditions can be combined, so a fee can apply, for example, only when a customer picks a certain payment method together with a certain shipping method.

Each rule has one or more rates. Pick the one that matches the cost you need to cover:

• Fixed amount per order
• Percentage of the order subtotal
• Fixed amount per matching product
• Fixed amount per item (every unit counts)
• Rate per unit of weight, using the weight attribute you choose
• Percentage of the product price
• Percentage of the discounted product price, so a fee doesn't grow with your promotions

A rule can hold several rates at once, for example a fixed amount plus a rate per unit of weight. Product-based rates count only the products that match the rule's product conditions.

Set a minimum, a maximum or both for every rule. A minimum makes sure a percentage fee never drops below a sensible amount on a small order; a maximum caps a per-item or per-weight fee on a large one.

Rule conditions work like Magento cart price rules: you can combine product attributes, product subselections and cart attributes. Cart conditions include subtotal (excluding or including tax), total quantity, total weight, payment method, shipping method, and shipping postcode, region or country.

On top of the cart price rule set, the extension adds conditions that let a fee follow how the order will be fulfilled:

• Day of week and time of day, for weekend or after-hours fees
• Shipping city and company name
• Backordered items in the cart (all items or at least one)
• Stock source that has the products in stock
• Number of orders the customer has already placed, for example to treat first orders differently

Rules run by priority. Turn on "Stop further rules processing" in a rule when its fee shouldn't be combined with the ones below it.

Each rule is limited to the customer groups and store views you select. Stores with several storefronts on one Magento backend can set different fees for each store view, and charge only the groups whose orders cost more to process.

Every fee has its own label, and each one appears as a separate line in the order totals. You choose its position among the totals in the checkout settings. The fee is shown:

• in the cart, at checkout and on the order success page
• in order, invoice and credit memo emails
• in the customer account and on printed orders and invoices
• on the admin order, invoice and credit memo pages, and in PDF invoices and credit memos

• Taxable fees. Mark a rule as taxable, and the fee is taxed at the highest rate that applies to the products in the cart for the shipping address. It works with catalog prices set either including or excluding tax. Invoice and credit memo totals match the order total.
• Refunds. When you create a credit memo, the fee is refunded with the order, and you can change the fee amount to refund only part of it.
• PayPal and Klarna. The fee is passed to PayPal Express Checkout and to Klarna (Kustom) Checkout, so the amount the customer approves there matches the order total.

The extension supports both Hyvä Theme and Hyvä Checkout, so fees show in the Hyvä cart and checkout totals as they do in Luma. It is also compatible with Mage-OS, and its admin forms follow WCAG 2.2 AA.
