Bigcommerce add processing fee on checkout

Question

I am in the process of adding an additional credit card processing fee of 2.5% across the entire bill upon check out in a bigcommerce store. My question is: Can I manipulate the grand total as it seems I cannot change it or is there any other way?. Also would adding a line items work? Or if you have any other idea please let me know. There is not much information that is found in BC site

Answer 1

So you actually have a couple of no code options in setting this up!

You could use the native Handling Fee (percent or flat rate) to add a fee to the shipping, which I would assume you'd do more than 2.5% if you chose this route. Or you can look at creating a custom tax to add to the checkout.

We do have an Idea in our Ideas Portal that I invite you to review that is to support transaction fees on the order. If you are in support of this idea, please upvote it to relay that feedback to our Product teams! :)
