Charge fees within an order for such things as special packaging,
artistic setup, order surcharge, or any miscellaneous charge that needs to be applied
and is not an actual product. Multiple fees allowed per store and
per product; assigned through Miva Merchant admin. Fees are normally a positive value
but can be negative if you want to give discounts.
The owner can use this module to designate multiple fees for use within a store to be:
1) applied to all orders, 2) applied once to an order as
long a specified product is ordered, or 3) applied for
each time a fee associated product is listed in the
basket.
Once the store is setup with the possible fees, it is a simple
matter of assigning the type of fees applicable to a particular product
from the Product Edit Screen in admin. A single product can even have
multiple fees. Or in some cases, you might want to use a fee which is
only assigned once as long as specific products are ordered. There is
also a fee type which is assigned once no matter what products are
ordered. That would be your typical handling fee. You could also use
this type for an order surcharge, i.e. $x.xx if the order does not
exceed a certain amount (compiled Merchant).
The fees can be marked as taxable or non-taxable.
Fees can be charged depending on the ship to location (state, zip, or country)
- The ship to location options should be left blank unless they are specifically needed
- You can include specific locations by starting the line with a +
- You can exclude specific locations by starting the line with a -
- Use the location code for states and countries, e.g. FL and US respectively
- You can enter a string of codes up to 254 characters, each code separated with a | and the line ending with a |
- Example: +US|CA|MX| will apply the fee for United States, Canada, and Mexico only
- Example: -FL|GA|MS|AL| will NOT apply the fee for Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama but will apply it for all other locations unless excluded or included in the other location options
- You can combine location options, e.g. just US but not the states FL and GA
New in the compiled version (Merchant 4.14 and newer), you can specify a range for each fee
type. The fee will only be applied if the order subtotal reaches an amount that falls
within the range. You can also apply the fee if only a specific attribute
is selected. For example, if someone selects to personalize a product, you
could charge an artwork fee for the setup or logo creation.
This module works with the MMUI and OpenUI and requires no editing
of mv files.
We also have the corresponding module for the 5.x version of Merchant.
