How it works
With this feature, you can define fee rules that trigger based on the total number of products added to the cart.
Whether customers add 1 or 100 items, you can apply a fixed or percentage-based fee depending on the quantity ranges.
Steps to configure settings
Step 1: Navigate to the extra fees settings
First, go to the Dotstore > WooCommerce Extra Fees > Manage Fees from your WordPress dashboard.
Step 2: Configure fee settings
- Set a fee title – Enter a name for the fee (e.g., "Cart fee").
- Fee type – Define the amount to charge (fixed or percentage).
- Enable fee amount – Set the fee amount that you want to charge for bulk product purchase
Step 3: Apply conditions based on product quantity
- Select "Cart quantity" as the condition – This will apply the fee based on the total product quantity in the cart.
- Define the quantity range – Example:
- Charge a $21 service fee if the cart contains up to 10 items.
- Charge a $49 service fee for orders with more than 10 items.
Step 4: Save and test the rule
- Click Save Changes to apply the fee rule.
- Add products to the cart and verify that the extra fee is applied correctly based on the configured quantity rules.
Example Use Case 1
Apply bulk order service fee for 50+ items
If a customer adds more than 50 items, charge a $20 service fee to cover packing and logistics.
Example Use Case 2:
Charge an extra $5 if the cart quantity is less than 3
For small quantity orders (less than 3 items), charge a $5 fee to encourage bulk orders or cover basic handling costs.
