WooCommerce Payment Gateway Based Fees 5.2.2
WooCommerce Payment Gateway Based Fees is a straightforward extension that adds a customizable fee to orders based on the selected payment gateway. It helps you manage costs transparently, boosts revenue control, and offers easy integration with your WooCommerce store.
Description
WooCommerce Payment Gateway Based Fees is a WordPress plugin designed to add a customizable fee to orders depending on the payment gateway a customer selects in your WooCommerce checkout. If different gateways have different processing costs or pricing rules, this extension helps you handle those differences directly in the order total.
Instead of applying a single flat charge, you can define fee behavior per gateway, improving cost transparency and giving store owners more control over how payment fees affect revenue. It integrates with the standard WooCommerce payment gateway flow, making it practical for real-world storefronts.
