Invoice Payment Option Free

Add an invoice payment method to your checkout allowing your customers place order without making payment at checkout.

<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. Example: Add a 2% processing fee that automatically applies to every payment method without setting them up individually.</li>
<li>Charge fees or offer discounts based on the payment method to balance transaction costs. Example: Charge an extra $0.30 for PayPal payments or offer a 2% discount for Direct Bank Transfers.</li>
<li>
Configure more than one fee for a single payment gateway to cover additional costs. Example: Add a $0.30 fee for processing PayPal payments and an additional 3.9% charge for the order total.
</li>
<li>
Add specific fees for certain product categories or exclude them entirely for others. Example: Apply a 2% fee for electronics and exclude fees for apparel purchases. 
</li>
<li>Apply payment gateway fees conditionally based on the selected shipping method to fine-tune your checkout costs. 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. Example: Charge a ₹100 fee per item for fragile goods, so ordering 3 units adds ₹300 instead of just ₹100.</li>
<li>Tailor fees to reflect regional transaction costs or currency exchange charges. Example: Add a 4.4% fee for non-U.S. payments and 2.9% for U.S.-based transactions.</li>
<li>Apply percentage-based fees either on each product or the full cart total when fees are set at the product level. Example: Add a 5% handling fee per product for fragile items or apply 5% to the entire cart for bulk orders.</li>
<li>Avoid cart abandonment by informing customers of fees upfront on the product page. Example: Show “2.5% extra charge applies for PayPal payments” on the product details page.</li>
<li>Customize fees as a fixed amount or a percentage of the total order value. Example: Apply a 2.5% fee on the total order value for credit card payments or charge a flat $0.50.</li>
<li>Avoid discouraging small orders by waiving fees below a set order amount. Example: No additional fees for orders under $20.</li>
<li>Set payment gateway-specific fees or discounts for individual products to handle product-based pricing strategies. Example: Add a ₹50 fee for COD only on heavy items, or offer a 5% discount for prepaid orders on select electronics.</li>
<li>Set fee limits to keep charges reasonable and predictable. Example: Cap the fee at $5 for high-value orders while maintaining a minimum of $1.</li>
<li>
Ensure some payment methods remain fee-free to encourage their usage. Example: No extra charges for Stripe payments while fees apply to others.
</li>
<li>Apply or skip fees depending on whether a coupon is used during checkout. Example: Waive the payment gateway fee if the customer uses a 10% discount coupon.</li>
<li>Ensure compliance by applying taxes to gateway fees where required. Example: Add a 7% tax to a $2.00 payment gateway fee in applicable regions.</li>
<li>Keep gateway fees fair by calculating them only on product costs. Example: Apply a 2% fee on the subtotal without including shipping charges in the calculation. </li>
</ul>
