Configuring the Extra Fee Module in Magento

Updated yesterday

The Extra Fee module adds a customisable additional charge during the checkout process. This functionality allows for the inclusion of fees for services e.g. gift wrapping and expedited shipping, or donations.

Please note that the extra fee is not shown in SparrowHub and can only be viewed in the Magento backend.

You can view the current and past extra fee rules by navigating to Stores > Extra Fee > Manage Rules.
