Cart Specific
If enabled, the fee applies to the total cart.
You can also specify product-based fees if needed for specific collections or items.

Schedule Activation

Conditional Fee Rules
Control when the fee should apply based on conditions such as cart total, location, or payment method.

If disabled, the fee will always apply by default.

When rules are disabled, the fee will be applied to all orders without conditions.
