Add extra fees based on the product quantity in the cart

Charging extra fees based on the number of products in the cart helps store owners implement volume-based pricing, handling fees, or bulk purchase surcharges. With this feature, you can apply additional charges dynamically based on the total quantity of products a customer adds to their cart.
