AI Suggested Fee WooCommerce FAQs

Extra Fee For WooCommerce lets you add custom fees to orders automatically. Before you try the AI Suggested Fee feature, it helps to know what's required, what it costs, and what happens to your data.

This page answers the questions customers most often ask before setting up the AI Suggested Fee in the WooCommerce store.

Access and Setup

1. Do I need the PRO plan to use AI Suggested Fee?

Yes. AI Suggested Fee is a PRO-only feature in Extra Fee For WooCommerce.

2. What do I need to configure before I can use it?

You need Settings → AI enabled, and one AI provider connected under Settings → Connectors (Anthropic, Google, or OpenAI).

Cost and Providers

3. Do I need to pay for the AI provider separately?

Yes. Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI are third-party services with their own API costs. The plugin doesn't cover AI provider costs — you'll need your own account and API key.

4. Which AI provider should I use — Anthropic, Google, or OpenAI?

Any one of them works with the feature. The best suggestion is to use OpenAI. Because it is usually up to 30 days for abuse monitoring.

Data and Safety

5. Is my store data sent to a third party when I use this feature?

For a particular Extra Fee AI module, I'd have PHP do about 70–80% of the numerical analysis and use OpenAI for the remaining 20–30%: reasoning, opportunity detection, fee selection, explanation, and configuration recommendation.

That gives you better privacy, lower token usage, lower API cost, more consistent recommendations, and fewer hallucinated calculations.

6. Will AI Suggested Fee automatically start charging customers?

No. Every suggestion is saved as a draft. Nothing goes live until you manually review and publish it.

Default save as draft — Default fee behaviour

Using the Feature

7. Can I undo or remove a fee after publishing it?

Yes. You can edit a fee or turn off its Status toggle at any time, the same as a manually created fee.

8. How accurate is the revenue estimate shown on a suggestion?

There are two options: you can see a yellow dot and a green dot.

Fee confidence — See the fee confidence before add

9. Will AI-suggested fees conflict with fees I already created manually?

No, not in most cases. Before generating a new fee, the system will analyze the existing fees to identify similar rules and avoid creating duplicates.

10. How many suggestions do I get, and can I get more?

Each click on ✨ AI Suggested Fee generates 8 suggestions — 5 based on your store data and 3 general AI suggestions. Click the button again anytime for a new batch.

Conclusion

AI Suggested Fee needs PRO access, an enabled AI connection, and your own provider API key before you start. Suggestions never go live on their own — you review and publish each one — so it's safe to try even while you're still deciding which fees to keep.
