Add Surcharges for Payment Method Types at Checkout

You can add custom processing fees for different payment methods at your store's checkout. You can choose a fixed amount, or a percentage of the purchase. This comes in handy in cases where you must pay a transaction fee to your payment provider, or an additional fee charged by a Cash on Delivery (COD) service.

The fee will have your store's standard tax rate applied to it (even if a product has a special tax rate), and will display on order details, notifications, and invoices.

Note: Before adding payment method fee, make sure it is not prohibited by your payment provider or country regulations.

Add a fee to a payment method

To add a fee to a payment method:

Select Payments on the left-hand sidebar of your Shop dashboard.
Select a payment method.
Scroll to the Payment method fee and select Add payment method fee.
Enter the amount you want to charge. To charge a percentage instead of a flat amount, click on the dropdown and select %.
(optional) In the section labeled Payment instructions for customers, click Set payment instructions at checkout and add an explanation about why you charge fees. This note will display at checkout.
Click Save.

The extra fee will now display during checkout along with the order total.
