WooCommerce Payment Gateway Based Fees 5.2.2
Wordpress Plugins WooCommerce.com 4.8 (1.0K reviews)
This is a WooCommerce extension from Woothemes that lets store owners attach an extra fee to an order based on which payment gateway the customer selects. Instead of charging the same amount no matter how someone pays, you can make the checkout reflect the real cost of accepting different payment methods. The fee can be applied automatically to the total cart value, or it can target specific products within the cart. Shop administrators can also step in and adjust the fee manually on any individual order at any point, which gives you flexibility when a customer requests a change or you need to correct something after checkout. Because all configuration lives in the plugin's own settings pages, you can switch fees on or off for the entire website without losing any of your saved data. That reduces the risk when you experiment with different fee structures or temporarily suspend charges during a promotion.
The admin gets fine-grained control over every fee. You can enable or disable additional charges for a single payment gateway, or for a single product, without touching anything else. That means you could add a surcharge for cash on delivery, leave credit card payments free, and only apply an extra product-level fee to one specific high-cost item if needed. The settings pages clearly separate gateway-level rules from product-level rules, so it is easy to see what applies where. When an order comes in through checkout, the automatically calculated fee appears on the order page, and you have the option to edit it right there. The plugin also supports manually adding a fee after the customer has completed checkout, which covers situations where a payment method changed later or an additional charge needs to be recorded. Admin-created orders get the same treatment; you can add a fee directly when building an order in the dashboard.
Three distinct calculation methods determine how the fee is computed, giving you room to match the plugin to your pricing logic. Whichever method you pick applies consistently to the cart total or the selected products, depending on how the rule is configured. To prevent fees from ballooning on large orders, you can define a maximum limit for fees added at the cart level, and a separate maximum limit for fees added to a single product. These caps give you breathing room when a customer buys in bulk or adds an expensive item to the cart, so the surcharge stays reasonable. The plugin also handles tax properly. Additional fees can be included in tax calculations, which means the final amount a customer pays reflects correct tax treatment rather than a guess. All of this happens automatically during checkout, so customers see the fee in the order breakdown, and you do not have to calculate anything by hand.
For store owners who want to recover payment processing costs or discourage a particular checkout method, this plugin removes the need for manual oversight. The site-wide toggle lets you pause all fees in one click while preserving your settings, which is handy during testing or promotional periods. Because the admin can change any fee directly on the order page, customer service issues become easier to resolve without editing code or hunting through configuration screens. Built as a standard WooCommerce extension by Woothemes, it integrates with the normal order workflow and does not require you to replace any existing payment setup. Orders created directly in the dashboard can also carry a manually added fee, so you stay in control no matter how a purchase is recorded. The practical result is a store that charges extra per gateway or per product in a way that customers can see and that you can adjust at any time.
