<p>Merchants often struggle with margins because they fail to account for the additional costs associated with an order. In order to increase margins and average order value, use: Conditional Extra Fee for WooCommerce<br />
This extension enables merchants to charge customers an additional fee based on conditional logic. These fees can be charged in a fixed amount or as a percentage, and can be made optional or mandatory. Fees can be made taxable or non-taxable and can be charged in the customer’s local currency.</p>
<h2>Use Cases</h2>

<h2>Charge fee in Percentage or Fixed Amount</h2>
<p>With conditional extra fees for WooCommerce extension, you can charge an extra fee based on a percentage or a fixed amount value. The percentage-based extra fee can be applied. You can also configure a percentage-based fee to be applied on:</p>
<ul>
<li>Subtotal</li>
<li>Subtotal before tax</li>
<li>Subtotal after tax</li>
<li>Total before discount applied</li>
<li>Total after discount applied</li>
</ul>

<h2>Charge an extra fee in different currencies</h2>
<p>Some additional fees are applied in a currency different from the order currency. For example, when a store from the UAE sends items to the United States, merchants may have to pay duties in dollar amounts. Conditional extra fees for WooCommerce enable merchants to configure additional fees in different currency than the default store currency.</p>

<h2>Show a customizable label and tooltip for extra fee</h2>
<p>In order to keep customers informed on additional charges, the WooCommerce extra fee extension allows merchants to add a customizable title for the additional fee, and add a tooltip to let customers know about the charges in detail.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734005232443" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/woocommerce-extra-fee-5.png" alt="" width="874" height="430" /></p>
<h2>Make extra fee optional or required</h2>
<p>The additional fees added via WooCommerce extra fee extension can be made optional or mandatory depending on fee nature. If a fee is optional, then a checkbox will be displayed, and upon checking, it will be added to the total. If it’s required, then the fee will be added directly to the total and cannot be removed by the customer.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734005232438" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/woocommerce-extra-fee-2.png" alt="" width="873" height="519" /></p>
<h2>Add multiple scenario-based fees</h2>
<p>The rule-based implementation enables merchants to create and add multiple additional fees based on different scenarios.</p>

<h2>Add conditional logic to charge extra fees</h2>
<p>A fee in addition to the order total can be made dependant on conditional logic. It allows merchants to add fees based on certain conditions i.e “If cart contains product x then apply fee”. If you have created multiple logics in a single rule then you can choose to apply fee if: All conditions are applied and Any one of the condition is applied.</p>
<p>The following logics can be applied to filters: Equals to, Less than equals to, More than equals to, Less than, and More than.</p>
