Built for WooCommerce 2026

- Go to WooCommerce Settings Payment Gateway Fees to configure.
FAQ
-
Does this work with the new Cart Block and Checkout Block?
-
Yes. The plugin registers as a Cart/Checkout Block integration and triggers a server round-trip whenever the customer changes payment method, so the fee always reflects the chosen gateway.
-
Is it HPOS compatible?
-
Yes. The plugin declares compatibility with custom order tables and uses CRUD (
wc_get_order,WC_Order_Item_Fee) throughout — no direct post meta access for orders. -
Can I give a discount instead of a fee?
-
Yes. Enter a negative value in the Fee value field.
-
Will the fee be taxable?
-
Each fee slot has its own taxable toggle and tax class, so you can mix taxable and non-taxable fees on the same gateway.
-
Does the plugin send any data anywhere?
-
No. The plugin does not contact any external server, send tracking data, or include any third-party scripts.
