You define the rules, label charges clearly, and provide customers with a precise breakdown. The result is a smoother checkout experience, reduced cart abandonment, and a pricing strategy that's adaptable to changing costs and market conditions.

How it works in practice

1) Configure rules: Set where and how each fee applies (by product, category, region, or payment method). 2) Label clearly: Choose fee names that communicate value or necessity (for example, “Payment Processing Fee” or “Sustainability Charge”). 3) Display everywhere: Ensure itemized fees appear in the cart, checkout, and receipt. 4) Monitor and refine: Use built-in analytics to optimize fee strategy over time without guesswork.
