Plusero Documentation: Extra Fees for WooCommerce

Q: Where can a fee be charged?

In five places: Product, Cart, Checkout, Shipping and Payment. The place decides which conditions you can use. A payment fee follows the payment gateway the customer picks, and a shipping fee follows the shipping method.

Q: Can I charge different amounts at different order sizes?

Yes. Use the Tiered method and add a band for each range of cart subtotal, total quantity or total weight. The Handling by order size ready made fee is a working example.

Q: Can a fee give a discount instead of a charge?

Yes. On the Amount step, set This rule should to Reduce what they pay. The fee then shows as a negative line in the totals. The Bulk order reduction ready made fee works this way.

Q: Are fees included in tax reports?

Yes, when you tick Charge tax on this fee. WooCommerce then treats the fee like any other taxable line.

Overview

Plusero - Extra Fees for WooCommerce Pro lets you add extra charges to WooCommerce orders, such as a cash on delivery surcharge, a small order fee, a card processing fee, a handling charge on heavy goods or optional gift wrapping. Each fee is charged in one of five places: on a product, on the cart, at checkout, on a shipping method or on a payment method. A fee is charged only when its conditions match.

You build each fee with a five step builder (Where, When, Amount, Wording, Review), or you start from one of eight ready made fees. Fees can be fixed, a percentage, per item, per unit of weight, a percentage plus a fixed amount, tiered by bands or a round up of the order total. Any fee can also reduce what the customer pays instead of charging them. You can let customers opt into a fee themselves, run a fee only at certain times, reuse named condition sets across many fees and set a ceiling on the total fees one order can carry.

The Pro edition also shows a price breakdown on product pages, adds an Extra fees box to the product edit screen, reports what each fee earned, keeps a change history and lets you export and import your fees. It works on the classic and the block cart and checkout.

Requirements

WordPress 6.4 or later (tested up to 7.1)
PHP 7.4 or later
WooCommerce 8.0 or later, installed and active (required plugin)

Installation

Plusero - Extra Fees for WooCommerce Pro is a Pro plugin. You download it as a zip file from your ProPluginsLab account. WooCommerce 8.0 or newer must be installed and active first. You do not need the free edition: Pro includes everything the free plugin does.

Make sure WooCommerce 8.0 or newer is installed and active under Plugins.
Log in to your ProPluginsLab account and open My Account > Downloads. Download the Plusero - Extra Fees for WooCommerce Pro zip file.
In WordPress, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, choose the zip file and click Install Now.
Click Activate Plugin. A new Plusero Fees menu appears in the WordPress admin.
If the free edition of Plusero is active, it stays idle while Pro runs, and a note on the Plugins screen says you can deactivate it. Every fee and setting you built in the free edition is kept and used by Pro.
Go to Plusero Fees > Add Fee to build your first fee, or Plusero Fees > Ready made fees to start from a template.

License and automatic updates

Plusero works fully as soon as it is activated. The license key turns on automatic updates, so new versions arrive in WordPress like any other plugin update. Pro features never depend on it.

Activate your license

Find your license key in My Account on propluginslab.io, in the license keys section. It is also in your order confirmation email.
In WordPress, open Plusero Fees > License. When two or more ProPluginsLab plugins or add-ons are active on the site, WooCommerce > Licenses also appears and lists all of them in one place.
Paste the key into the Plusero - Extra Fees for WooCommerce Pro row and click Activate. The status changes to Active and automatic updates are on.

The license screen with a license key field, an Activate button and the license status — Plusero Fees > License: paste the key and click Activate.

Receive updates automatically

Once the license is active, new versions of Plusero show up under Dashboard > Updates and on the Plugins screen. Click Update now, or click Enable auto-updates in the Plusero row on the Plugins screen and WordPress installs every future release for you.

Good to know

Keys are checked once a day in the background, so your site never waits for the license server. If the server is briefly unreachable, the plugin keeps its last known status.
An expired key or a key that is not accepted only stops updates. Plusero keeps working. After renewing, click Check now in its row.
Moving to a new domain: click Deactivate on the old site first, then activate the key on the new one. The status shows Site address changed, checking until the new address is confirmed.
On the command line: wp ppl-license list, wp ppl-license activate <plugin> <key>, wp ppl-license check and wp ppl-license deactivate <plugin>.

Quick start

Pick a starting point
Open Plusero Fees > Ready made fees and click Create this fee on the card closest to what you need, or open Plusero Fees > Add Fee to start from a blank fee. Ready made fees are created switched off and open in the builder.
Choose where the fee is charged
On step 1, Where, pick Product, Cart, Checkout, Shipping or Payment, then click Next. This decides which conditions you can use.
Add the conditions
On step 2, When, click Add a condition and set when the fee applies, for example Payment method is Cash on delivery, or Cart subtotal is less than a threshold. Leave the step empty to charge the fee on every order.
Set the amount and the wording
On step 3, Amount, pick how the amount is worked out and fill in the figures. On step 4, Wording, enter the Fee label customers will see in the cart, the checkout, the order and the email.
Review and switch it on
On step 5, Review, read the fee back in plain words. Tick Switch this fee on when I save it and click Save fee. The fee now appears in Plusero Fees > All Fees as Active.
Test it in the cart
Add a matching product to the cart and open the cart page. The fee appears in the totals under the subtotal. If it does not, turn on Show why each fee applied, on the storefront under Plusero Fees > Settings to see the reason for every condition.

#All Fees

Plusero Fees > All Fees lists every fee in your shop. Each row shows the Fee name, Where it is charged, the Amount and how it is worked out, how many Conditions it has (or Always charged), its Order number and its Status.

To find a fee in a long list:

Click All, Active or Inactive above the list. Each shows how many fees are in that state.
Pick a place in the Charged anywhere dropdown (Product, Cart, Checkout, Shipping or Payment) and click Filter.
Type in the Filter fees by name box.

Click a fee name to open it in the builder. The row actions let you:

Duplicate a fee. The copy is switched off so you can edit it first.
Delete a fee. This cannot be undone.
Switch a fee on or off with the Active status button. A fee that is switched off charges nothing.

The Order number decides the sequence: lower numbers are worked out and shown first. This matters when you use Charge only the first one that matches or an order fee ceiling in Settings.

The All Fees list with columns Fee, Where, Amount, Conditions, Order and Status, and a filter dropdown above it — Use All, Active and Inactive, the location dropdown or the name filter to narrow a long list.

#Add a fee with the builder

Plusero Fees > Add Fee opens the fee builder. It walks you through five steps, shown along the top: Where, When, Amount, Wording and Review. The So far panel on the right sums up your choices as you go. Use Next and Back to move between steps.

Step 1: Where

Answer Where should this fee be charged? by clicking one card. Every fee is added to the cart the same way; the place decides which conditions you can use and how fees are grouped in the totals.

Place	What it is for
Product	Charged when a matching product is in the cart. Worked out from the matching products only, not the whole basket.
Cart	Charged on the cart as a whole, such as a small order fee.
Checkout	Charged based on who the customer is and where they are. Also offers payment method and shipping method conditions.
Shipping	Charged based on the shipping method the customer picked.
Payment	Charged based on the payment gateway the customer picked. Updates as soon as the customer switches method.

Step 2: When

Add conditions, or leave the step empty to charge the fee on every order. See Conditions and condition groups below.

Step 3: Amount

Pick how the amount is worked out and fill in its figures. Then set the shared options: This rule should (charge or reduce), Smallest fee, Largest fee, Rounding, Charge tax on this fee and, when they apply, Amounts in other currencies and On subscriptions. Below them, Only run this fee at certain times sets a schedule. See Working out the amount and Scheduling a fee.

Step 4: Wording

Enter what customers see: the Fee label (required), an optional Description under the amount and an optional Tooltip. Here you can also make the fee optional (see Optional fees customers choose), highlight it, and set the Internal name and Order used in your fee list.

Step 5: Review

Read the fee back in plain words. Tick Switch this fee on when I save it to make it live, or leave it unticked to save it switched off as a draft. Then click Save fee.

The Add fee builder on step 1, Where, with cards for Product, Cart, Checkout, Shipping and Payment — The five steps run along the top. The So far panel on the right sums up the fee as you build it.

#Edit a fee

Click a fee name in All Fees to open it in the same builder, titled Edit fee. The card you chose on step 1 is selected, and the So far panel shows the fee's current place, conditions, amount and label.

Move through the steps with Next, change what you need and click Save fee on the last step.

Saving never switches a fee on by surprise. A fee you edit keeps its current status: a ready made, imported, copied or paused fee stays switched off unless you tick Switch this fee on when I save it on the Review step.

The Edit fee builder with the Product card selected and a So far panel listing where, conditions, amount and label — The So far panel shows what the fee does right now before you change anything.

#Conditions and condition groups

On the When step, click Add a condition, pick what to check, how to compare it and the value. A fee with no conditions is Always charged.

All match, or any match

Conditions sit in a group. The group's dropdown decides how they combine:

All of these match: the fee applies only when every condition in the group is true.
Any of these match: the fee applies when at least one condition in the group is true.

Click Add another group to add a second group. Every group has to pass (the builder reads it as "and everything in this group too"), so a rule can need one thing to be true and any of several others. Use Remove this group to take one away.

Condition sets

When you have saved condition sets, the step shows Also require a saved condition set with a tick box for each. A set narrows the fee: everything in the set has to match as well as the conditions on the fee.

Conditions you can use

Condition	What it checks
Cart subtotal	The cart subtotal before tax, shipping and other fees.
Total quantity	How many items are in the cart in total, counting quantities.
Cart weight	The total weight of everything in the cart, in your shop weight unit.
Number of different items	How many separate lines are in the cart, ignoring quantities.
Coupon used	The code of a coupon applied to the cart. Use is not to skip a fee whenever a given coupon is in play.
Product	One of the chosen products or variations is in the cart.
Product category	A cart item belongs to one of the chosen categories.
Product tag	A cart item carries one of the chosen tags, useful for rules such as fragile or oversized.
Shipping class	A cart item has one of the chosen shipping classes. On a product fee it also decides which lines the fee covers.
Customer role	The role of the logged in customer. Visitors who are not logged in count as Guest.
Logged in	Whether the customer is signed in (Yes, signed in or No, a guest).
Orders placed before	How many paid (processing and completed) orders the customer placed before. Guests are counted by billing email. Set it to is 0 for a first order fee.
Billing country / Shipping country	The country on the billing address or the country the order ships to. Pick as many as you like.
Billing state / Shipping state	The state or region, searched by name. Pick as many as you like.
Billing city / Shipping city	The town or city, ignoring capitals. matches one of takes a list separated by commas.
Billing postcode / Shipping postcode	The postcode. starts with covers an area in one line. matches one of takes a comma separated list of postcodes, prefixes ending in a star such as `SW1*`, or ranges such as `1000...1999`.
Shipping zone	The WooCommerce shipping zone the delivery address falls in.
Day of the week	The day the order is placed, in your site timezone.
Payment method	The gateway the customer selected (Checkout and Payment fees).
Shipping method	The shipping method selected, either a whole method type (such as any flat rate) or one method in one zone (Checkout, Shipping and Payment fees).

Comparisons read as plain words, such as is, is not, is more than, is at least, is less than, is at most, is one of, is none of, contains, starts with, matches one of and matches none of, depending on the condition.

On a Product fee, product rules (product, category, tag and shipping class) also decide which cart lines the fee is worked out from. When no line matches, the fee charges nothing.

#Working out the amount

On the Amount step, pick one way to work out the fee:

Method	How it works
Fixed amount	A flat charge, the same on every order.
Percentage	A share of the cart, such as 2 percent of the subtotal. Enter 2.5 for two and a half percent.
Per item	The amount multiplied by how many items are in the cart.
Per unit of weight	The amount multiplied by the total cart weight.
Percentage plus fixed	A percentage and a flat amount together, the way card processing is priced.
Tiered	Different amounts at different bands of subtotal, quantity or weight.
Round the total up	Charges the difference needed to reach the next round number. Used for collecting donations.

Tiered bands

Pick what the Bands measured on (Cart subtotal, Total quantity or Total weight). Click Add a band for each range and fill in From, To and Charge (A fixed amount or A percentage). Leave the last To empty for everything above. The first band whose range covers the cart is charged. A figure that falls in a gap between two bands is charged at the band below it. The builder warns you when there is a gap or when two bands overlap.

Round the total up

In Round up to the nearest, enter 10 to round a total of 472 up to 480 and charge the 8 difference.

Charge or reduce

This rule should offers Charge the customer or Reduce what they pay. A reduction shows as a negative line in the totals, so a bulk order saving is built the same way as a surcharge.

Limits, rounding and tax

Smallest fee and Largest fee keep the result within limits. Zero means no limit.
Rounding tidies the result before it reaches the cart.
Tick Charge tax on this fee and pick a Tax class to tax the fee. WooCommerce then treats it like any other taxable line.

Other currencies and subscriptions

With a currency switcher (Aelia, WOOCS, CURCY or WPML WooCommerce Multilingual), every figure you type in your shop currency is converted once at the switcher's rate before the fee is worked out. Percentages are never converted. Open Amounts in other currencies to type exact figures for a currency instead. With WooCommerce Subscriptions active, On subscriptions decides whether the fee is charged on the sign up order only or on every renewal too.

#Scheduling a fee

At the end of the Amount step, tick Only run this fee at certain times to limit when the fee can apply. Then set any of these:

Starts on and Ends on: the dates the fee runs between.
On these days: tick the days of the week. Leave every day unticked to run on all of them.
Between ... and: a window of hours in the day.

Outside its schedule, the fee is not charged even when its conditions match. The debug panel tells you why, for example "Its schedule has not started yet.", "Its schedule has finished.", "It does not run on this day of the week." or "It is outside its hours."

#Optional fees customers choose

An optional fee is only charged when the customer asks for it. It suits gift wrapping, express handling, insurance, a carbon offset or a donation.

On the Wording step, tick Let the customer choose this fee.
In Where the customer chooses it, pick In the cart and checkout totals, or On the product page, per item (product fees only) to put a tick box above the add to cart button.
To offer several fees as one choice (such as Standard, Express or Same day handling), give them the same Choice group name and pick Show a choice group as A list of options or A dropdown. The customer can pick only one.
Tick Let the customer choose how many to show a quantity box instead of a tick box, and set Most they can choose.
Optionally tick Tick it for them to begin with. The customer can still untick it. Check your local consumer rules before charging anything by default.

In the cart and checkout, optional fees appear under Add to your order. The offer only appears when the fee's other conditions already match, it is offered at the price it will be charged, and the totals update the moment it is chosen. This works on the classic and the block cart and checkout.

#Ready made fees

Plusero Fees > Ready made fees offers eight complete fees you can create in one click and then adjust. Each one is created switched off and opens in the builder, so you can read it over and set your own amounts before anything reaches a customer.

Cash on delivery surcharge: a flat charge when the customer pays cash on delivery.
Small order fee: a charge on orders under a threshold.
Card processing fee: a percentage plus a flat amount, charged on every payment method except cash on delivery, bank transfer and cheque. Check your local rules before passing this on.
Gift wrapping, if they want it: an optional charge the customer ticks at the cart or checkout.
Heavy goods handling: a charge per unit of weight.
Bulk order reduction: a reduction once the basket is large enough, shown as a negative line.
Round up for charity: offers to round the order total, after discounts and with shipping and tax, up to the next round number. Optional, so the customer decides.
Handling by order size: three bands of handling charge that step down as the order grows.

To use one:

Click Create this fee on its card.
In the builder, check the conditions and replace the starting figures with your own.
On Review, tick Switch this fee on when I save it and click Save fee.

Eight ready made fee cards, each with a short description and a Create this fee button — Each fee is created switched off so you can check it before customers see it.

#Condition sets

A condition set is a named group of conditions you can attach to any number of fees. Change the set once and every fee using it changes with it. A set narrows a fee, so its conditions have to pass on top of the ones already on that fee.

To build a set under Plusero Fees > Condition sets:

In Build a set, enter a Name, for example "Wholesale customers in Europe".
Optionally add a Note to yourself. It is only ever shown on this screen.
Choose All of these match or Any of these match and click Add a condition for each rule.
Click Add another group if the set needs more than one group.
Click Save condition set.

The set appears under Your sets, which shows how many fees use each set. Click edit on a set to change it, then save it again. To attach it to a fee, open the fee's When step and tick the set under Also require a saved condition set.

Deleting a set that fees use first shows which fees use it. If you go ahead, those fees are switched off and the set is removed from them, so none of them starts charging customers the set kept out.

The Condition sets screen with a Build a set form on the left and an empty Your sets panel on the right — Name the set, add its conditions and save it. It then appears under Your sets, ready to attach to a fee.

#Reports

Plusero Fees > Reports shows what your fees earned over a date range.

Pick the From and To dates.
Click Show.

The page shows three totals (Charged in fees, Orders with a fee and Average per order), a By day chart and a By fee table with the Fee, Where, Orders and Charged columns. Click Download as CSV to save the table as a spreadsheet file.

Figures are counted from paid orders only, by the day they were paid in your site timezone, with refunds taken off. Cancelled, failed and fully refunded orders are left out, and a payment retry is never counted twice. Each currency is shown on its own.

The Reports screen with date pickers, three summary totals, a By day bar chart and a By fee table — Choose a date range and click Show. The By fee table can be downloaded as CSV.

#Tools

Plusero Fees > Tools groups the housekeeping tasks.

Export

Click Download the file to write every fee and condition set to a JSON file. Keep it as a backup or move it to another site.

Import

Click Choose File, pick a JSON file exported from this plugin and click Import the file. Every fee is cleaned exactly as the builder would clean it and arrives switched off so you can read it over first. Imported fees are attached again to their condition sets by name. A fee whose set cannot be found on this site stays blocked until you edit it and choose its sets again.

System

Shows the plugin Edition, the WooCommerce, WordPress and PHP versions, how many Fees are active and which Translation plugin was found. Useful when you contact support.

Clear fee history

Deletes every row behind the reports. Your fees and your orders are untouched. This cannot be undone. Type DELETE in Type DELETE to confirm and click Clear the history.

Change history

Lists who created, changed, imported or deleted a fee, a condition set or the settings, when, and what changed from what. Narrow it with the What happened dropdown and the Name contains box, then click Filter. Entries older than two years are removed.

#Settings

Plusero Fees > Settings holds the options that apply to every fee in the shop. Change what you need and click Save settings.

When several fees apply decides how more than one matching fee shows in the totals: each on its own line, added up into one line, grouped by where they came from, or only the first match charged. Choosing Add them up into one line shows Name for the combined line. Choosing Group them by where they came from shows Names for each group, with one box each for Product, Cart, Checkout, Shipping and Payment.
Most any one order can be charged sets a ceiling on all fees together. The fee that crosses it is trimmed to fit.
Highlighting, On product pages, Payment methods, Other currencies, Debug panel, On the storefront and Uninstalling control what customers see and how the plugin behaves.

Fees taxed differently are never forced onto one taxed line. When some active fees are taxed differently, a combined or grouped line is split into one line per tax treatment, each with the same name, and the settings screen tells you so.

Every field is described in the settings reference below.

The Plusero Fees Settings screen with When several fees apply set to Show each fee on its own line — The default layout: each fee shows on its own line.

Settings with When several fees apply set to Add them up into one line and a Name for the combined line box below it — Adding fees up into one line reveals Name for the combined line.

Settings with When several fees apply set to Group them by where they came from and five group name boxes below it — Grouping reveals one name box for each place a fee can be charged.

#Built in documentation

Plusero Fees > Documentation is a reference inside your WordPress admin. It covers getting started, where a fee is charged, every condition, how each amount is worked out, what the customer sees, the settings and common questions. It also has a section for developers.

The Settings screen points here for a full explanation of each option.

The Documentation screen with sections such as Getting started, Where a fee is charged and Conditions — A full reference you can read without leaving the admin.

#Extra fees box on the product edit screen

When you edit a product under Products, an Extra fees box in the sidebar lists the product fees that currently apply to that product, with their amounts. When none apply, it says "No product fees apply to this product right now."

The figures are worked out for a quantity of one, as they would look to you right now. Rules about the customer, such as role, read your own account, and rules about the whole cart read this product only.

Click Add a fee to open the builder and create a new fee.
