Request to add a surcharge/extra fee/tariff at checkout, calculated as a percentage of the order total, and to confirm whether this is natively possible.
The poster explicitly rejects common workarounds:
Adding the fee as a tax product
Including the fee as a cart line item
Treating the fee as part of tax
Embedding the fee in shipping cost
Using catalog price overrides
Adding the fee on top of product prices
No solution, decision, or implementation details have been provided. The thread remains open with the key question unanswered: can a percentage-based surcharge be added at checkout without using the listed methods?

For your needs, the only solution is to be on the Plus Plan and go with a checkout app or extension since editing the actual checkout.liquid code isn’t a thing anymore.
What do you mean “there is no way”? Did you search the App Store? There are several apps including Upcharge, Feesly, and Dotstore. And they have exactly what you’re describing for Plus Plan: fees on actual checkout not cart. You need to do the actual research though because only you know what you need and want.
Lol yeah you sure showed me… by refuting an example Meanwhile, like I said, the only solution is to be on the Plus Plan and install an app or extension. That is the solution. Whether you find one, thats on you.
@Maximus3 Showed me? What do you mean? Im not here to argue with you. Im asking for help on a problem, and then im listing the workarounds/solutions that won’t work for me. You are a giving me the solution to install an app or extension, but with what result? I can create or install an app that adds the fee as a product. But the first bullet that wont fit my needs are: “Add fee as a fee product”. So your solution really doesn’t make any sense?
It’s not a “workaround” it’s literally the only way. You asked for an answer. I told you the only answer, not a workaround, not a quick band-aid, not an alternative. Literally the only way. Plus Plan and Checkout App or Extension. PERIOD. You can accept this or reject it. That’s up to you.
So, why are you asking if you already know? There’s no magic formula. You kniw checkout is locked on non-plus plans. You know the checkout.liquid isn’t editable. You know the apps don’t work for your needs/wants. So why even bother?
Look @Maximus3. Can’t i ask a question?
As i said: I just want to be 100% sure whether this is possible or not.
I know there is no magic formula, again, this is why i asked the question on this forum.
I know checkout is locked on non-plus, but what if the solution was outside checkout?
This was my first post here. I dont think I will be coming back if all I get is this. Why bother answering?
Because it IS possible with a checkout app. You are just choosing to say it’s not because you haven’t found one.
This is a huge requirement. This tells me that you are limited to a CHECKOUT APP/PLUS PLAN. All your list stuff is within this requirement.
Not possible, given the CHECKOUT requirement above.
The only way for a checkout fee is Plus Plan and a checkout app. Whether you find one that fits each of those individual secondary needs, that’s up to you to explore. I gave some generic examples that I just pulled up within 5 seconds. It was never my intention to tell you those apps will meet every single requirement you have. That’s not my job. And quite frankly, I was being extremely nice. It was you who was arguing, and choosing to go on and on. I gave you the correct answer the first time and you were like “yeah i thought so”. You want to squash this and move on, or do you want to keep arguing the same points over and over?
Plus Plan and a Checkout App or Extension. I’ll just refer you to the Dev board and you can ask if there is a checkout app that meets each of your needs.
Meanwhile, like I said, the only solution is to be on the Plus Plan and install an app or extension. That is the solution. Whether you find one, thats on you.
