The Magento 2 extra fee extension enables e-commerce businesses to apply additional charges for services like expedited shipping, gift wrapping, installation fees, and more.
If you want to add extra fees at checkout in Magento 2, this article provides two solutions: adding custom charges through code or using third-party extensions.
Why Need to Add Extra Fee at Magento Checkout?
Adding extra charges is a valuable feature for store owners who offer additional services, such as one-day delivery or gift wrapping. However, Magento only supports a few default fees, like free shipping or flat rates, often leading store owners to include these charges in product prices.
This approach has two significant drawbacks:
- Customers may not be aware of the additional costs
- It can significantly raise product prices, increasing the likelihood of shopping cart abandonment.
The Magento 2 Add Extra Fee in Checkout feature addresses these issues by allowing store owners to add extra fees during checkout, making customers more aware of them. It also displays these fees on the storefront when items are added to the cart, enhancing the shopping experience.
2 Methods to Add Extra Fee at Checkout in Magento 2
Method 1: Add Extra Fee Programmatically
If you have coding experience and prefer a free solution, you can customize Magento 2 to add an extra fee at checkout by following these steps:
Step 1: Create a new file named sales.xml
in the etc
folder of your Magento module.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Sales:etc/sales.xsd">
<section name="quote">
<group name="totals">
<item name="customfee" instance="Webkul\Test\Model\Total\Customfee" sort_order="150"/>
</group>
</section>
</config>
Step 2: Create the Customfee.php
file within the app/code/Webkul/Test/Model/Total
directory.
This file will contain the PHP code that calculates and applies the extra fee to the order total.
Step 3: Update the total according to custom fee
In this step, you’ll set up your Magento configuration to automatically update the order total based on your defined extra fee.
class Customfee extends \Magento\Quote\Model\Quote\Address\Total\AbstractTotal
{
/**
* Collect grand total address amount
*
* @param \Magento\Quote\Model\Quote $quote
* @param \Magento\Quote\Api\Data\ShippingAssignmentInterface $shippingAssignment
* @param \Magento\Quote\Model\Quote\Address\Total $total
* @return $this
*/
protected $quoteValidator = null;
public function __construct(\Magento\Quote\Model\QuoteValidator $quoteValidator)
{
$this->quoteValidator = $quoteValidator;
}
public function collect(
\Magento\Quote\Model\Quote $quote, \Magento\Quote\Api\Data\ShippingAssignmentInterface $shippingAssignment,
\Magento\Quote\Model\Quote\Address\Total $total
) {
parent::collect($quote, $shippingAssignment, $total);
$exist_amount = 0; //$quote->getCustomfee();
$customfee = 100; //enter amount which you want to set
$balance = $customfee - $exist_amount;//final amount
$total->setTotalAmount('customfee', $balance);
$total->setBaseTotalAmount('customfee', $balance);
$total->setCustomfee($balance);
$total->setBaseCustomfee($balance);
$total->setGrandTotal($total->getGrandTotal() + $balance);
$total->setBaseGrandTotal($total->getBaseGrandTotal() + $balance);
return $this;
}
protected function clearValues(Address\Total $total)
{
$total->setTotalAmount('subtotal', 0);
$total->setBaseTotalAmount('subtotal', 0);
$total->setTotalAmount('tax', 0);
$total->setBaseTotalAmount('tax', 0);
$total->setTotalAmount('discount_tax_compensation', 0);
$total->setBaseTotalAmount('discount_tax_compensation', 0);
$total->setTotalAmount('shipping_discount_tax_compensation', 0);
$total->setBaseTotalAmount('shipping_discount_tax_compensation', 0);
$total->setSubtotalInclTax(0);
$total->setBaseSubtotalInclTax(0);
}
/**
* @param \Magento\Quote\Model\Quote $quote
* @param Address\Total $total
* @return array|null
*/
/**
* Assign subtotal amount and label to address object
*
* @param \Magento\Quote\Model\Quote $quote
* @param Address\Total $total
* @return array
*/
public function fetch(\Magento\Quote\Model\Quote $quote, \Magento\Quote\Model\Quote\Address\Total $total)
{
return [
'code' => 'customfee',
'title' => 'Custom Fee',
'value' => 100
];
}
/**
* Get Subtotal label
*
* @return \Magento\Framework\Phrase
*/
public function getLabel()
{
return __('Custom Fee');
}
}
Following these two simple steps, you’ve successfully added a custom fee to your Magento 2 checkout page.
