Packing Charge

Description

Packing Charge is a powerful WooCommerce add-on plugin that allows store owners to easily manage additional packing fees for their products. It introduces a new tab in the WooCommerce settings where you can configure packing charges, set fixed or percentage-based rates, and customize labels to match your store’s terminology such as “Packing Charge,” “Extra Fees,” “Dynamic Charge,” or “Tax Amount.”

You can also exclude specific products from packing charges. If all items in the cart are excluded, the plugin automatically removes the fee, ensuring a seamless and flexible checkout experience for both store owners and customers.

Key Features:

  • Custom Options: Add a custom packing charge to orders using either a fixed (flat fee) or percentage-based calculation.

  • Customizable Labels & Amounts: Easily customize both the label and amount of the packing charge.

  • Fixed Fee: Apply a fixed amount to every order (for example, 50).

  • Percentage Fee: Apply a packing charge based on a percentage of the cart subtotal (for example, 5% of the cart total, with a maximum of 100%).

  • The packing charges are automatically applied and displayed in the cart, checkout, and all relevant email notifications such as admin order received, customer purchase, and refund emails.

  • Product Exclusion Feature: This feature allows you to exclude specific products from packing charges. You can define, on a per-product basis, whether the charge applies or is skipped. If every item in the cart is excluded, the packing charge will not be added.

  • Dynamic Field Validation: Ensures that percentage-based packing charges cannot exceed 100%, maintaining accurate calculations.
