Typical use cases:
- Pass card-processing surcharges to customers paying with specific gateways.

- Add a packaging/insurance fee for express shipping methods.
Features:
- Per-method configuration — every payment gateway and shipping method has its own settings.
- Choose between a percentage of cart subtotal or a fixed amount.
- Optional taxable flag so the fee can be included in tax calculations when required.
- Customisable fee label shown to the customer.
- Works with the classic checkout and the block-based Cart & Checkout.

FAQ
-
Where is the configuration screen?
-
WooCommerce Settings Checkout Fee.
-
Does the percentage fee include shipping or taxes?
-
No. The percentage is applied to the cart subtotal (line items, before shipping and taxes). Whether the resulting fee is itself taxed is controlled per method by the Taxable option.
-
Will it work with the new block-based Checkout?
-
Yes. The plugin hooks into
woocommerce_cart_calculate_fees, which fires for both classic and block-based checkout. The block checkout automatically recalculates totals when the customer switches payment method via the Store API. -
Is it compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS)?
-
Yes — compatibility is declared with both
custom_order_tablesandcart_checkout_blocks.

It’s working great, but payment operators takes also its fee from shipping costs which clients have to pay too. So I changed at file checkoutfee.php from:
$originalNumber = WC()->cart->get_cart_contents_total();
to:
$originalNumber = WC()->cart->get_cart_contents_total() + WC()->cart->get_shipping_total();
and it’s now adding to the fee the shipping costs – so working now as I wanted 🙂

Exactly what I was looking for. Super simply and works as advertised.

It does it’s work and for free! I made it with it. Ads in brackets the percentage you set e.g.”(2%)” to the title that customers read. It’s % of the products in the order (does not include the shipping fee).An idea for future versions might be adding:
“fixed amount” fee
option to make the % fee from the total (so that includes also the shipping)
Option to set fees to turned off payment methods (as PayPal stays turned off for currencies that it does not support but still works for the non-default currencies that the website supports)
Thanks a lot to the Vipe team for that plugin! It saved me 150 USD for other plugins at least…

Very easy to install and it works.
But….I would rather work with a fixed amount, is that possible in future?

Changelog
2.1.0
- Fix: percentage and fixed fees were never actually added to the cart because of a mismatch between the option key used by the settings UI and the one read at checkout. Fees now apply as configured.
- Fix: activation routine no longer deletes existing per-method settings and no longer force-resets the fee type to “percentage” on every activation.
- Fix: removed
is_plugin_active()call that could fatally error during activation on some hosts. - New: per-method Taxable option (previously every fee was implicitly taxable, with no way to change it).
- New: declares compatibility with WooCommerce HPOS and Cart & Checkout Blocks.
- New: one-time migration of legacy option keys (
{id}_name_label,{id}_name_percent,{id}_fee_type) to a clean, prefixed namespace (pmcf_{id}_*). - New: own text domain
payment-method-checkout-fee-for-woocommerce(previously strings used thewoocommercedomain). - Improvement: configuration now lists every registered payment gateway, not just those available for the current empty admin cart.
- Improvement: scripts are now enqueued via
wp_enqueue_scriptsand only on the checkout page. - Improvement: multi-package carts no longer apply the same shipping-method fee multiple times.
- Cleanup: removed unused Monolog dependency and
vendor/directory, shrinking the plugin download significantly. - Cleanup: removed dead admin page and orphaned admin JS/CSS that were not wired up to anything.
