Bolder Fees for WooCommerce empowers store owners to take complete control over their checkout process by adding custom, flexible, and conditional fees. Whether you need to pass on payment gateway charges, implement environmental levies, or add service surcharges based on specific cart conditions, this plugin provides the precision tools required to manage your revenue streams without complex coding. It is the ideal solution for merchants who need a robust, reliable way to adjust order totals dynamically to reflect the true cost of doing business.
Key Features
- Dynamic Fee Creation: Easily create unlimited custom fees that can be applied as fixed amounts or calculated as a percentage of the cart subtotal.

- Taxable Configuration: Choose whether each individual fee is taxable or tax-exempt, allowing you to comply with local tax regulations accurately.
- Checkout Visibility: Control whether fees are displayed as a separate line item or merged into the total, giving you control over the visual presentation of your checkout page.
- Global or Specific Application: Apply fees globally across the entire store or restrict them to specific shipping zones or geographic regions.
- Seamless Integration: Designed specifically for WooCommerce, ensuring compatibility with the standard checkout flow and major payment gateways.
Use Cases / Who It’s For
Bolder Fees for WooCommerce is built for store owners who require more flexibility than the standard WooCommerce checkout offers. If you run a business where the cost of fulfillment varies based on the customer’s choices, this plugin is an essential tool for maintaining your profit margins.
Retailers often use this plugin to implement “handling fees” for fragile items, surcharge for specific payment methods that incur high processing costs, or add mandatory “eco-taxes” required by local legislation. It is also highly effective for B2B stores that need to apply service fees based on the specific customer account type or order volume. By automating these additions, you eliminate the need for manual order adjustments, saving you time and reducing errors in your accounting.
Setup / How It Works
- Install and Activate: Upload the plugin to your WordPress site and activate it through the Plugins menu.
- Create a New Fee: Navigate to the plugin settings area within your WooCommerce dashboard and click to add a new fee rule.
- Define the Amount: Specify whether the fee is a flat rate or a percentage, and input the value.
- Set Conditions: Use the intuitive interface to select the conditions under which the fee should be applied. You can stack multiple conditions to create highly specific rules.

- Save and Test: Save your settings and perform a test checkout to ensure the fee appears correctly based on your defined logic.
