To add a credit card fee, set up a percentage-based fee on the order:

  1. In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Apps and open Magical Product Fees.

  2. Click Create fee.

  3. Choose the Function Method.

  4. Enter a title, like “Credit Card Processing Fee.”

  5. (Optional) Add a description.

  6. Under Type, select Order.

  7. In Calculation, pick Percentage and enter your rate.

  8. Under Conditions, choose Subtotal (all plans) or Total (Growth Plan with Shopify Plus).

  9. Click Save.

For a video walkthrough on how to set this up on the order subtotal (Starter Plan), you can watch the quick video below:

If you want to apply the fee only when customers pay with credit card or Paypal, you’ll need the Growth Plan with Shopify Plus:

  1. In the app, click Create Fee or View Fees to edit an existing fee.

  2. Choose the Function Method.

  3. Under Payment Methods, click Add Payment Methods.

  4. Check Credit Cards and/or Paypal.

  5. Click Save.

This will charge the fee only when those payment methods are used.
