Surcharge Pro

Surcharge Pro is the premium edition for Surcharge. It is an add-on that requires the free Surcharge plugin installed and active; it is distributed through Freemius (licensing, activation and automatic updates), not the WordPress.org directory.

Surcharge Pro extends the free checkout fee engine. It does not work on its own. If the free plugin is missing, deactivated, or older than the required version for tiered fees, Surcharge Pro stays dormant and shows an admin notice instead of booting.

Shipping PRO features

Section titled “Shipping PRO features”
  • Fee-exempt user roles — waive selected checkout fees for chosen WordPress roles (e.g. wholesale or staff). Guests are never exempt. Evaluated through surcharge/fee_applies via RoleRestriction.
  • Tiered fees by cart value — vary fee amounts based on the customer’s cart subtotal range (subtotal + tax). Tier amounts replace the base fee row amount through surcharge/fee_amount via TieredFees and TierResolver.
  • Per-product and per-category rules — apply a fee only when selected products or categories are in the cart, or skip the fee when they are present. Evaluated through surcharge/fee_amount via ProductFeeRules and CartProductMatcher.
  • Schedule windows — run a fee only during a date range or on chosen weekdays via FeeScheduleRules on surcharge/fee_applies.
  • Per-fee reporting — see how much each fee has collected, with CSV export via FeeReporting under WooCommerce → Surcharge Reports.
