How to Apply Weekend or Holiday Extra Fees in WooCommerce

This feature allows WooCommerce stores to recover higher operational costs during weekends and holidays. By applying a small extra fee, store owners can maintain profitability during peak demand periods.

Weekend and holiday orders often require extra staffing or faster processing. Adding a timed surcharge ensures your store stays efficient without cutting into your margins.
