Is There a Shopify App to Apply Fees by Customer Tags?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A Shopify Plus merchant needs to apply credit card processing fees exclusively to Wholesale customers, who are identified by customer tags. The merchant tested the Magical Fees & Tariffs app but found it cannot target specific customer groups.

Proposed Solutions:

  • Checkout customization (requires Shopify Plus): Add fees during checkout using custom development
  • Pre-checkout workarounds: Use Ajax Cart API to add fee products before checkout, or leverage draft orders with automation tools like Mechanic
  • Alternative apps: Two wholesale-focused apps were suggested:
    • Wholesale Pricing Discount B2B (supports draft orders and conditional fees for customer groups)
    • Samita Wholesale Pricing (offers customer tag-based pricing, volume discounts, and quick order forms)

The merchant acknowledged the initial response but hasn’t indicated whether they’ve implemented a solution. The discussion remains open with multiple potential approaches available.

We serve three customer groups—DTC, B2B, and Wholesale—distinguished by customer tags. We want to apply a credit card processing fee only to Wholesale customers.

We tested the Magical Fees & Tariffs app, but it lacks the ability to target specific customer groups, and the developer confirmed there’s currently no workaround.

Is anyone aware of an app that allows conditional fees based on customer tags? We’re on Shopify Plus, but we’d prefer to avoid a custom solution if possible. Thanks.

Hi @TsukasaMuto :waving_hand: A shopify Plus plan is required to do this in checkout.

Before checkout for a cart in the online sales channel products could be added using the ajax cart api.

Or the draft orders system and a tool like mechanic https://tasks.mechanic.dev/create-a-draft-order-from-the-cart

Hey @TsukasaMuto In case if you’re still exploring, the Wholesale Pricing Discount B2B app by Wholesale Helper supports drafting of B2B orders. You may want to check this: https://help.wholesalehelper.io/hc/en-us/articles/4407971670417-How-are-manual-orders-handled-by-the-app

Additionally, about your requirement of adding conditional fees, the app offers the same for the customer groups. hope this helps..
