Fees Settings
After installing the app to your Shopify store, you must access the app's backend to begin with the configuration settings.
The initial main configuration settings are to Enable the app, and Add the app block into your theme to start its functionality.
Once you have enabled the app and added the app block in the theme, you can start with the configuration of the Fees Settings.
Surcharge - Set the title of this surcharge. This will help you differentiate the additional costs applied to your customers.
Type - Select the type of surcharge you want to apply to your customers' orders: Percentage or Fixed.
Condition - Select the condition you want to apply on the surcharge: greater than or equal to, less than or equal to, less than, or greater than.
You are allowed to choose any of the conditions from these four conditions.
Fee amount - Select how much extra you want to charge your customers.
If you have chosen to charge extra fees based on Percentage, then you must add the value of the percentage you want to charge extra.
If you have chosen to charge extra fees based on a Fixed amount, then you must add the fixed amount of value you want to charge from your customers.
Order amount - Set a minimum order amount (subtotal of the order amount).
Description - Enter a message that will be displayed for your customers during their checkouts to have transparency regarding the additional costs.
Here are some examples for both conditions on which the surcharge will be applied to understand the functionality of the app easily.

Surcharge Display & Customer Consent
To comply with platform guidelines, any additional charges such as a 10% surcharge applied to the order amount must be clearly shown to the customer and require their explicit approval before being added to the cart.
To meet this requirement, we have implemented:
Automatic surcharge calculation: The cart page displays the surcharge amount (10% of the order total) in real time.
How the 10% Surcharge Is Calculated
To provide full transparency, here’s how the surcharge is applied to the order total:
The product price is $2,629.95.
A 10% surcharge is applied based on the order total.
10% of $2,629.95 = $262.995, which rounds to approximately $263.
When this surcharge is added to the product price, the final total becomes: $2,629.95 + $262.995 = $2,892.945, which rounds to approximately $2,893.
Customer authorization checkbox: A confirmation checkbox is provided on the cart page. Customers must manually check this box to authorize the surcharge.
The surcharge will only be applied once the customer gives consent by selecting this checkbox.
This ensures full transparency and prevents any unintended charges, helping your store stay compliant while maintaining customer trust.
The checkout button will remain disabled until the customer checks this box and confirms the addition.
You can now apply additional charges only to selected products or specific collections, instead of applying the fee to the entire cart.
Product-Specific Charges
You can select individual products on which the additional charge should apply.
Example: If Arin Socks is selected, the additional charge will be applied only when this product is added to the cart.
Example :
A store owner wants to apply an extra delivery charge only to a specific product.
Selected Product: Arin Socks
Cart Subtotal: $78
Additional Fee: 2% of $78 = $1.56
Total: $79.56
Result: Since the cart subtotal is greater than $7 and the selected product is in the cart, the additional delivery charge is applied.
If the cart does not include Arin Socks, no additional charge will be added.
Note: Customers must manually confirm the charge by selecting the checkbox “I accept the additional fee charge.” The additional fee will not be applied without confirmation.
Collection-Specific Charges
You can also apply additional charges to specific collections.
Example: If the Jeans Pants collection is selected, the additional charge will apply when products from this collection are added to the cart.
Example:
A store owner wants to apply an extra charge to all products in a particular collection.
Selected Collection: Jeans Pants
Cart Subtotal: $349
Additional Fee: 2% of $349 = $6.98
Total: $355.98
Result: When any product from the Jeans Pants collection is added to the cart, and the subtotal exceeds $7, the delivery charge is applied.
If no product from the selected collection is present in the cart, the fee is not applied.
Note: Customers must manually confirm the charge by selecting the checkbox “I accept the additional fee charge.” The additional fee will not be applied without confirmation.
