Cash On Delivery fee calculated on total checkout?

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

Topic summary

Objective: include an extra Cash on Delivery (COD) fee in Shopify checkout totals and display it clearly to customers.

  • Example expectation: subtotal 50€, free shipping, COD fee 3€ → total should be 53€.
  • Current limitation: default Shopify checkout does not calculate or show a separate COD fee line in the order total breakdown.
  • Known workaround: some apps can add a COD fee, but they typically do not insert a visible fee line at checkout, so customers don’t see the true final total when choosing COD.
  • Requested solution: a native setting, an app, or a custom app method that both applies the COD fee and shows it as a line item/charge in the checkout summary.
  • Status: no confirmed solution or implementation details provided; question remains open.

Hello!

I want to know if there is a setting or an existing third-party app or a way to create a new app so i can add an extra fee on the COD payment method.

For example, let’s say that the subtotal cost is 50€, the shipping cost is free and the customer chooses the COD payment method that has fee 3€. The total cost should be 53€ but in default shopify checkout it doesn’t calculate the COD fee.

Thank you.

I know there are apps that can add a fee on COD option. The problem is that when a customer chooses this payment method doesn’t add a line for the cod fee in the order total breakdown. So the customer doesn’t know the true total cost of the order.
