WooCommerce additional fees on checkout (programmatically with a plugin)

I will use the Flexible Checkout Fields plugin to add custom fields with prices so that I can implement additional fees on the checkout page.

Change WooCommerce checkout total price - Types

👉🏼  The change in the final purchase amount depends on the selected type of price and its rate:

• Fixed - net price set in currency units and independent of the basket
• Percentage of Subtotal (ex. VAT) - the amount set as a percentage and dependent on the net sum of the basket
• Percentage of Subtotal (incl. VAT) - the amount set as a percentage and dependent on the gross sum of the basket
• Percentage of Total - the amount set as a percentage and dependent on the total amount (basket + coupons + shipping costs)

WooCommerce additional fees on checkout step by step

1. Install and activate the Flexible Checkout Fields PRO plugin.
2. Go to WooCommerce → Checkout Fields.
3. Add a new field.
4. Add options and other settings - if required (e.g. for the "Radio" field). Save the settings.
   IMPORTANT - Do not set the same labels for the options.

5. Select the "Pricing" tab and activate the "Enable price" checkbox. Save the settings if the checkbox is not visible.
   1. If the field type does not have options (e.g. "Text") - a single row with settings will appear.
   2. If the field type has options (e.g. "Select") - there will be independent rows with settings next to each option.

6. Set the price type by selecting it from the "Price type" list:
   1. Fixed - set the price without tax
   2. Percentage of Subtotal (ex. VAT) - set a percentage
   3. Percentage of Subtotal (incl. VAT) - set a percentage
   4. Percentage of Total - set a percentage

7. Set the tax class by selecting it from the "Tax class" list. Save the settings.
   
   💡 IMPORTANT - The "Tax class" option will appear when:

   1. the price assigned to the field is positive
   2. and when the "Enable tax rates and calculations" option is activated in WooCommerce. If you're not sure how to do it, have a look at this article.

Displaying WooCommerce checkout fields with prices

The assigned price will appear in the store as a gross total price or as a percentage of the subtotal/total.

• Checkout. The price will appear in brackets next to the field/option label. Each selected field with the price will also be shown in the "Your order" section.

• Order Summary. The price will appear as the amount included in the order
• WooCommerce > Orders. The fields here are editable so it is possible to change both the label and the price or even add tax.
