Add a configurable handling/convenience fee to WooCommerce orders when customers choose Cash on Delivery. Fee disappears for all other payment methods …

VSW COD Handling Charges lets WooCommerce store owners add an extra handling or convenience fee that appears at checkout only when the customer selects Cash on Delivery (COD) as their payment method. The moment they switch to any other method (UPI, credit card, net banking, etc.) the fee is removed automatically — with zero page reload.
This is ideal for Indian e-commerce stores and any store worldwide that wants to recover the operational cost of processing cash payments.
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Customer adds items to the cart.</li>
<li>Customer proceeds to checkout and selects Cash on Delivery.</li>
<li>A handling fee (e.g. ₹56) is automatically added to the order total.</li>
<li>If the customer switches to any other payment method, the fee is removed instantly.</li>
<li>The fee label, amount, and type are all editable from the WordPress admin.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>✅ Enable / Disable — turn the fee on or off without deactivating the plugin.</li>
<li>💵 Fixed or Percentage — charge a flat amount (e.g. ₹56) or a percentage of the cart subtotal (e.g. 5%).</li>
<li>🏷 Custom Fee Label — set exactly what customers see (e.g. “COD Handling Charges”, “Convenience Fee”, etc.).</li>
<li>⚡ Real-Time Update — fee adds and removes as the customer toggles payment methods; no page reload.</li>
<li>🧾 Optional Tax — choose whether tax should apply to the handling charge.</li>
<li>🎨 Clean Admin UI — settings page under WooCommerce → COD Handling Charges with a modern design.</li>
<li>🔗 Quick Settings Link — accessible directly from the Plugins list page.</li>
<li>🔌 HPOS Compatible — fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage.</li>
