Add extra fees based on cart coupons

Charge additional fees when specific coupon codes are applied at checkout. This feature helps you balance discounts by adding handling or service charges for coupon-based orders.

How it works

When a customer applies a specific coupon code in the cart, the plugin checks for matching conditions. If the coupon matches your rule, the configured extra fee will be applied to the order automatically.

Steps to configure the fees

Step 1: Navigate to the extra fees settings

Step 2: Create a coupon code

First, go to the Marketing > Coupons > Add coupon to add a new coupon code.

Here, create the coupon codes and add different types of discounts based on your business needs.

Step 3: Set the coupon-based conditional fees

First, create your desired coupon codes in the WooCommerce Coupons section and set up the discount types based on your business needs.

Next, navigate to the Extra Fees plugin settings and create a new fee rule.

• Add a Fee Title that describes the charge (e.g., "Flat coupon fee").
• Choose the Fee Type – either a Flat Amount or a Percentage based on the order total.
• Enter the desired Fee Amount.

Then, in the Conditional Fee Rules section:

• Select "Coupon" as the condition from the dropdown.
• Enter or select the specific Coupon Code to trigger the fee.

Step 4: Save and test the rules

Once configured, click the save changes button to save all the fee settings, and the extra fee will automatically apply when the selected coupon is used during checkout.

Example Use Case 1

Apply a $3 processing fee for the ‘SAVE10’ coupon

When a customer applies the SAVE10 discount code, a $5 processing fee is automatically added to cover transaction costs.

Example Use Case 2

Charge 2% extra on orders using ‘FREESHIP’ coupon

If the FREESHIP coupon is used, a 2% handling fee is added to balance free shipping expenses.
