## Description

Pfand Manager is a lightweight WooCommerce plugin that allows you to add a per-product
deposit (“Pfand”) and automatically display it as a separate fee in the cart and
checkout.

The Pfand value is defined individually for each product and multiplied by the product
quantity in the cart. The resulting amount is shown as a single fee line, keeping
product prices clean and transparent.

This plugin is ideal for beverage deposits, reusable packaging, bottle Pfand systems,
or any scenario where a refundable deposit is required.

### Features

 * Adds a **Pfand (€) input field** to WooCommerce products
 * Calculates Pfand **per product × quantity**
 * Displays Pfand as a **separate fee** in cart and checkout
 * Pfand is **not taxable by default**
 * Lightweight and fast — no settings page required
 * Fully compatible with WooCommerce cart calculations

### Usage

 1. Go to **Products  Edit Product**
 2. Enter a Pfand amount (e.g. `0.25`)
 3. Save the product
 4. Add the product to the cart

The Pfand will automatically appear as a separate fee in the cart and checkout.

### Filters

You can customize the label and tax behavior using filters:

Change the fee label:
 add_filter(‘pfand_manager_fee_label’, function () { return‘
Deposit’; });

Make the Pfand taxable:

add_filter(‘pfand_manager_fee_taxable’, function () {
 return true; });

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/pfand-manager/`
 2. Activate the plugin via the WordPress admin panel
 3. Edit a WooCommerce product
 4. Set a value in the **Pfand (€)** field under the _General_ tab

## FAQ

### Is the Pfand included in the product price?

No. The Pfand is added as a separate fee in the cart and checkout.

### Is the Pfand taxable?

No, the Pfand is non-taxable by default. You can enable taxation via a filter.

### Does it work with variable products?

Yes. The Pfand is applied to the selected variation if a Pfand value is set.

### Does it support refunds?

Yes. Since the Pfand is added as a WooCommerce fee, it is included in order totals
and refunds.
