How Do I Add Fees to WooCommerce Checkout?

Last updated on January 17, 2023 @ 3:49 pm

Adding fees to WooCommerce checkout is a great way to increase your revenue. There are two ways to add fees to WooCommerce checkout: by using a plugin or by adding code to your theme’s functions.php file.

If you’re using a plugin, there are many great plugins available that will allow you to add fees to WooCommerce checkout. Some of our favorites include:

* Checkout Fees for WooCommerce – This plugin lets you add a fixed fee or a percentage-based fee to the WooCommerce checkout page. * WooCommerce Checkout Fees – This plugin lets you add flat fees, percentage-based fees, and even tiered fees to the WooCommerce checkout page.

* Advanced Checkout Fees for WooCommerce – This plugin lets you add flat fees, percentage-based fees, and even tiered fees to the WooCommerce checkout page. It also includes features like conditional logic, so you can only charge the fee if certain conditions are met.

If you’re not using a plugin, you can still add fees to WooCommerce checkout by adding code to your theme’s functions. Here’s how:

1. First, you’ll need to create a new function that will add the fee to the checkout total. You can name this function whatever you want; we’ll name it ‘wc_add_checkout_fee’.

2. Next, you’ll need to use the ‘woocommerce_cart_calculate_fees’ hook to call your new function. This hook allows you to calculate any additional fees before they’re added to the total.

3. In your new function, you’ll need to use the ‘woocommerce_add_fee’ function to actually add the fee to the checkout total. This function takes two arguments: the name of the fee and the amount of the fee (either as a fixed amount or a percentage).

4. Finally, don’t forget to return the updated $total!

Here’s an example of what this code might look like:

PRO TIP: Adding fees to WooCommerce checkout can be tricky and may result in unexpected charges for your customers. Be sure to thoroughly test your changes before making them live on your site.

function wc_add_checkout_fee( $total )
{// Add $5 flat fee $total->add_fee( ‘Flat Fee’, 5 );

// Add 5% percent fee (use either one of these!)
$total->add_fee( ‘Percent Fee’, .05 * $total->getTotal() );return $total;}

add_action( ‘woocommerce_cart_calculate_fees’, ‘wc_add_checkout_fee’, 10, 1 );

Adding fees to WooCommerce checkout is a great way increase your revenue without raising prices for your customers. By using a plugin or adding code to your theme’s functions.php file, you can easily add fees to WooCommerce checkout.
