Add extra fees based on the cart subtotal of specific products

This feature allows you to apply extra fees only when the combined subtotal of selected products in the cart meets certain conditions.

It's useful for targeting premium products or charging fees for specific product groups without affecting the full cart total.

How It Works

The plugin checks the subtotal value of selected products in the cart. Based on defined conditions (like greater than, less than, or between), it applies an extra fee.

This ensures fees are charged only when qualifying products meet the required subtotal threshold.

Steps to configure the extra fee

Step 1: Add a new extra fee

First, go to the Dotstore > WooCommerce Extra Fees > Manage Fees from your WordPress dashboard.

Step 2: Configure the extra fee

Enter the fee amount and label of the fee.

Step 3: Add conditional rules

In Conditional Rules, choose Product Subtotal in Cart and select the specific products for the rule and set the condition (e.g., greater than $100).

Step 4: Save the settings

Example use case 1

Apply a surcharge if the subtotal of clothing (like hoodies, jackets) is less than $200.

This helps cover shipping or handling costs for small orders of low-margin items.

Example use case 2

Add a packaging fee if the subtotal of premium women's tops products in the cart is greater than $299.

This helps recover packaging costs only for high-value, fragile items.
