<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key Features</h2>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-secondary">
<li>Apply a global extra fee across all payment gateways in one step to simplify your checkout fee strategy.<br />Example: Add a 2% processing fee that automatically applies to every payment method without setting them up individually.</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Charge fees or offer discounts based on the payment method to balance transaction costs.<br /></span><i style="color: var(--wp--preset--color--woo-text-gray,#101517);font-family: var(--wccom-font-family-default);letter-spacing: -0.011em">Example: Charge an extra $0.30 for PayPal payments or offer a 2% discount for Direct Bank Transfers.</i></li>
<li>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Configure more than one fee for a single payment gateway to cover additional costs.<br /></span><i style="color: var(--wp--preset--color--woo-text-gray,#101517);font-family: var(--wccom-font-family-default);letter-spacing: -0.011em">Example:</i><span style="font-weight: 400"> Add a $0.30 fee for processing PayPal payments and an additional 3.9% charge for the order total.</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Add specific fees for certain product categories or exclude them entirely for others.<br /><i>Example:</i> Apply a 2% fee for electronics and exclude fees for apparel purchases.<br /></span></p>
</li>
<li>Apply payment gateway fees conditionally based on the selected shipping method to fine-tune your checkout costs.<br />Example: Add a ₹50 fee for Cash on Delivery only when Flat Rate Shipping is used, and skip it for Free Shipping.</li>
<li>Choose whether fixed product-level fees are charged once or multiplied by quantity for more accurate cost control.<br />Example: Charge a ₹100 fee per item for fragile goods, so ordering 3 units adds ₹300 instead of just ₹100.</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Tailor fees to reflect regional transaction costs or currency exchange charges.<br /><i>Example:</i> Add a 4.4% fee for non-U.S. payments and 2.9% for U.S.-based transactions.</span></li>
<li>Apply percentage-based fees either on each product or the full cart total when fees are set at the product level.<br />Example: Add a 5% handling fee per product for fragile items or apply 5% to the entire cart for bulk orders.</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Avoid cart abandonment by informing customers of fees upfront on the product page.<br /></span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">Example:</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400"> Show “2.5% extra charge applies for PayPal payments” on the product details page.</span></li>
<li>Customize fees as a fixed amount or a percentage of the total order value.<br />Example: Apply a 2.5% fee on the total order value for credit card payments or charge a flat $0.50.</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Avoid discouraging small orders by waiving fees below a set order amount.<br /><i>Example:</i> No additional fees for orders under $20.</span></li>
<li>Set payment gateway-specific fees or discounts for individual products to handle product-based pricing strategies.<br />Example: Add a ₹50 fee for COD only on heavy items, or offer a 5% discount for prepaid orders on select electronics.</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Set fee limits to keep charges reasonable and predictable.<br /><i>Example:</i> Cap the fee at $5 for high-value orders while maintaining a minimum of $1.</span></li>
<li>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Ensure some payment methods remain fee-free to encourage their usage.<br /><i>Example:</i> No extra charges for Stripe payments while fees apply to others.</span></p>
</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Apply or skip fees depending on whether a coupon is used during checkout.<br /><i>Example:</i> Waive the payment gateway fee if the customer uses a 10% discount coupon.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Ensure compliance by applying taxes to gateway fees where required.<br /><i>Example:</i> Add a 7% tax to a $2.00 payment gateway fee in applicable regions.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Keep gateway fees fair by calculating them only on product costs.<br /></span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">Example:</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400"> Apply a 2% fee on the subtotal without including shipping charges in the calculation.<br /></span></li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Manage Payment Gateway Charges and Maintain Transparent Pricing<br /></span></h2>
