Fee Rules

Fee Types

TackOn supports three fee calculation methods.

Fixed Fees

Same amount regardless of cart total.

Best for: Gift wrapping, handling fees, rush processing

Example:

  • Fee: $5.00
  • Cart $50 → Fee $5.00
  • Cart $500 → Fee $5.00

Percentage Fees

Calculated from cart subtotal.

Best for: Payment surcharges, insurance, commission fees

Example:

  • Fee: 2.5%
  • Cart $100 → Fee $2.50
  • Cart $200 → Fee $5.00

Combined Fees

Fixed amount plus percentage.

Best for: Credit card fees ($0.30 + 2.9%), complex structures

Example:

  • Fee: $0.30 + 2.9%
  • Cart $10 → $0.30 + $0.29 = $0.59
  • Cart $100 → $0.30 + $2.90 = $3.20
