Order Total: Payment Type Charge

Via ”Configuration” > ”Finance” > Order Total" you have the possibility to set up a charge for the different payment methods that you use in your shop. This excludes the payment method "Credit card" (quickpay) as the payment charge for this can be set up directly in the payment module.

If you would like to add a charge to Cash on Delivery you click on the module "Payment Type Charge" and afterwards on "Edit". If the payment method 'cod' should for example cost 5,00 Euro excl. VAT you can enter "cod: 5" into the field "Payment methods and rates". You can add more charges for the other payment methods by entering their module name (you can see the name while editing the payment method), afterwards a colon ":" and at last the charge excl. VAT.

For example:

'cod:5' to charge 5,00 Euro for Cash on Delivery (excl. VAT).

In the field "Sort Order" you define in which sort order the payment charge shall be listed in the order totals. It is important to remember that the sort order not only effects the way the order totals are displayed but also the way the totals are calculated. This is very important for modules that calculate totals like charges, discounts, etc.
