What it does
Payment gateways cost store owners different amounts. PayPal transaction fees, cash on delivery handling and other charges can eat into each order, yet most stores charge every customer the same no matter how they pay. This extension lets you attach a fixed or percentage fee to a costly method, or offer a discount on a method that is cheaper for you to accept. Customers see the adjustment at checkout, so the cost of their payment choice is clear before they place the order.
Rules are set in the WooCommerce backend. Each fee or discount is tied to a payment gateway, and you can narrow it further by customer country, user role and order total range. Minimum and maximum values keep amounts within limits you choose, and custom labels explain the charge or discount on product pages and at checkout. It requires WooCommerce and suits stores that accept several payment methods and want pricing to reflect what each one costs.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores accepting several payment gateways
- Shops offering cash on delivery alongside online payments
- Store owners passing PayPal fees on to customers
Features
Fees or discounts per gateway
Apply a fixed or percentage-based fee or discount tied directly to the payment method the customer selects at checkout.
Country, role and total conditions
Restrict each rule by customer country, user role and order total range so adjustments only apply to the shoppers and orders you target.
Minimum and maximum limits
Set lower and upper bounds on fee or discount amounts so percentage charges stay within a range that is fair to you and your customers.
Recover gateway transaction costs
Add a fee to gateways with higher processing costs, such as PayPal, so those charges are covered automatically without manual order adjustments.
Extra charge for cash on delivery
Add a fee to cash on delivery orders to cover the service charges that come with collecting payment at the door.
Discounts for preferred methods
Offer a discount on payment methods that cost you less to process, giving customers a reason to choose them.
Custom fee and discount labels
Write your own labels so customers see clear messages about any fee or discount on product pages and at checkout.

Questions about Payment Method Based Fee
Can I charge a percentage instead of a flat fee?
Yes. Each fee or discount can be a fixed amount or a percentage of the order. You can also set minimum and maximum values so a percentage fee never falls below or rises above the limits you choose.
Can I apply a fee only to customers in certain countries?
Yes. Rules can be restricted by customer country, and also by user role and order total range. This lets you, for example, charge a cash on delivery fee only in specific regions or only on smaller orders.
Will customers know why their total changed?
You can set custom labels for each fee or discount. These labels appear on product pages and at checkout, so shoppers can see the adjustment and the reason for it before they pay.
Does it work without WooCommerce?
No. This is a WooCommerce extension and needs WooCommerce installed and active, since it works with the payment gateways configured in your WooCommerce store.
