Add extra fees based on the payment method

This feature allows you to charge additional fees based on the selected payment method at checkout. It’s useful for adding transaction or processing fees specific to gateways like COD, PayPal, or Stripe.

How It Works

The plugin checks the customer's selected payment method during checkout and applies the configured extra fee for that method. You can add fixed or percentage-based fees and set custom labels for each payment method fee.
