Adding line items without adding a ‘fee’
-
Thanks for your help.
Currently, we add one-off items to orders by adding a ‘fee’ and then changing the name of the fee to the actual item we’re selling.
However, this is throwing off our accounting, as the items are technically not fees but are still categorized as such in our documentation.
Is there a way to add one-off, line items without categorizing them as fees?

Thanks for replying.
We add an item as a fee when that item isn’t regularly available in our store – i.e. if it’s just a one-off sale for an item that won’t be sold again in the future.
Otherwise, everything is added as a specific product and we don’t have this problem. Is there a better way to add a one-off line item without categorizing it as a fee?
Hey there!
The next best thing that I would say to do is to create a “Custom Item” item on your site. Then you can add in meta when you add it to the order.
This would look like this (from my test site):

Hopefully that helps! Have a great one!
Hey again!

In that example above, I added in a meta with the name, and then the value.
You can add in “Name : fancy custom item #1” and then something like “Color: Blue” , “size: largest” etc.
You can add as much or as little detail as you want in the meta there.
