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.

Benefits of adding product quantity-based extra fees

Automate additional fees based on quantity thresholds. Apply bulk purchase fees or discounts for high-volume orders. Increase revenue by charging handling fees for large orders. Ensure fair pricing by charging per product unit if needed.

• Set up automatic extra fees based on quantity thresholds to simplify pricing adjustments.
