How to Add A Separate Tariff Surcharge to Order or Product

Shopify Plus

Topic summary

A merchant wants to display tariff fees as a separate line item on orders (either per-order or per-product) rather than raising prices, to show customers the direct impact of tariffs on overseas-made products.

Suggested Solutions:

  • Dedicated app: Intelligems recently launched a “Tariff Support” app specifically for this purpose
  • Shopify Plus users: Can use Scripts to add per-item or per-order surcharges
  • Alternative apps: Cashier or “Order & Product Fees by Mageworx” enable custom fee line items
  • Workarounds: Add hidden “Tariff Fee” products bundled with items, or use line item properties (though this won’t affect pricing)
  • Built-in feature: Enable “Duties and Import taxes” for automatic calculation, though this is designed for international duties rather than domestic tariff display

Status: Multiple viable options presented; merchant encouraged to share store setup details for more specific guidance. The original poster also encourages other Shopify merchants to line-item tariffs for customer transparency.

HI. Instead of raising our prices because many of our products are made overseas, we want to add a separate tarriff fee per order OR separate tariff per item fee, so they can see how much extra the tariffs are adding to their order. How do we do this? Anyone have a work around?? The only thing I can find is a separate line for international duties. Please help. And I encourage all Shopify store owners who are being impacted by these tariffs to line item them so the customers will see the impact.

Hi @txtashi ,

To show tariff fees separately in Shopify:

  1. Bundle workaround – Add a hidden “Tariff Fee” product with each item.

  2. Line item properties – Show tariff info per product (doesn’t affect price).

  3. Shopify Plus – Use Scripts to add a per-item/order surcharge.

  4. Apps – Try Cashier or Order & Product Fees by Mageworx for custom fees.

Let me know your store setup if you want exact help!

You just need to enable Duties and Import taxes and it should automatically calculate.

If you need custom fees beyond this or not available on your account, you can configure your store to add a hidden product to the cart.
