Checkout Fees lets you add custom fees to your BigCommerce checkout, including tariffs, processing charges, handling fees, surcharges, and more, without replacing your checkout or writing a line of code. Create fixed or percentage-based fees, target them by category, product, brand, customer group, or sales channel, and watch them appear instantly as native line items right alongside shipping and tax. It's built on BigCommerce's own checkout API, so your store keeps its standard, auto-updating, fully-managed checkout: no custom checkout, no risk, no maintenance burden.

Key Features:

• Fixed Amount Fees - Add flat fees like $5 handling charges or $2.99 processing fees. Perfect for consistent costs that don't change with order value.

• Percentage-Based Fees - Add percentage surcharges (e.g., 3% payment processing fee) that scale automatically with order value. Choose from multiple calculation bases: subtotal, grand total, or amount due.

• Works With Your Standard Checkout - No checkout replacement or custom code required. Fees are added as native line items via BigCommerce's own checkout API. Your store keeps its normal, auto-updating, fully-managed checkout.

• Native Integration - Fees display as standard line items in the checkout summary, just like shipping and tax. Looks built-in, not bolted on.

• Persistent & Reliable - Fees survive page refreshes and work seamlessly across all checkout steps. Zero glitches.

• Included in Orders - Fees are permanently recorded in order emails and order history, perfect for accounting, tax reporting, and customer records.

• Per Order or Per Product - Apply fees once per order, or multiply by product quantity for per-item charges like insurance or handling.

• Tax Class Support - Assign a tax class to any fee. BigCommerce will automatically calculate tax on the fee based on your store's tax settings. Leave unassigned for non-taxable fees.

Flexible Targeting Options:

Apply fees to your entire store or target specific:

• Product categories (e.g., imported goods, hazmat items)

• Individual products (e.g., oversized items, special orders)

• Brands (e.g., vendor chargebacks, licensing fees)

• Customer groups (e.g., wholesale, retail, VIP)

• Sales channels (e.g., web only, marketplace orders)

Combine multiple restrictions; all conditions must be met for the fee to apply.
