FAQ

Does it require WooCommerce?

Section titled “Does it require WooCommerce?”

Yes. Surcharge extends the WooCommerce cart and checkout and does nothing without it. WooCommerce must be installed and active; if it is not, Surcharge stays inactive and shows an admin notice. It requires WooCommerce 8.0 or newer.

How is a percentage fee calculated?

Section titled “How is a percentage fee calculated?”

It is a percentage of the cart contents subtotal including the tax on those items, taken before existing fees and shipping. A 3% fee on a 100.00 subtotal adds 3.00. Percentages are capped at 100.

Can I add more than one fee?

Section titled “Can I add more than one fee?”

Yes, there is no limit. Each fee is independent and evaluated separately, so several can apply to the same cart, each shown as its own line in the totals. Two fees that share a label stay distinct: the second is suffixed with #N.

Are the fees taxed?

Section titled “Are the fees taxed?”

Only if you tick Taxable for that fee. When taxable, WooCommerce applies your standard tax rules to the fee just like a product. Otherwise the fee is added without tax. There is no per-rate or tax-class selection, it is on or off.

Can I charge a fee only for a specific payment method, country or cart size?

Section titled “Can I charge a fee only for a specific payment method, country or cart size?”

Not from the settings screen. The free edition has no conditional rules; every enabled fee applies whenever the master switch is on. You can add conditions in code with the surcharge/fee_applies filter (it skips all fees when it returns false), see Fee recipes. Per-fee conditions are planned for a Surcharge Pro add-on.

Can I temporarily turn one fee off without deleting it?

Section titled “Can I temporarily turn one fee off without deleting it?”

Yes. Untick that row’s Enabled box and save, the row and its values are kept but the fee stops being charged. To pause every fee at once, turn off the Enable fees master switch.

Do the fees show on the order and in emails?

Section titled “Do the fees show on the order and in emails?”

Yes. Fees are added through the official WooCommerce fees API, so they appear in cart totals, on the checkout page, on the resulting order, in order emails and in reports, exactly like shipping or tax.

Does it work with the Cart and Checkout Blocks?

Section titled “Does it work with the Cart and Checkout Blocks?”

Yes. Surcharge declares compatibility with the Cart/Checkout Blocks and with HPOS, and applies fees through Woo’s own pipeline, so they work on both the classic and block-based checkout.

Is there a shortcode or a template to override?

Section titled “Is there a shortcode or a template to override?”

No. Fees are output by WooCommerce itself in the totals table, so there is no shortcode to place and no template to copy into your theme.

How do I remove all plugin data?

Section titled “How do I remove all plugin data?”

Deleting the plugin from the Plugins screen runs the uninstall routine, which removes the surcharge_settings and surcharge_db_version options. Surcharge creates no custom tables, so nothing else is left behind.
