Advanced Cash on Delivery Fees for WooCommerce

Advanced Cash on Delivery Fees for WooCommerce lets you charge a fixed or percentage based fee whenever a customer pays with Cash on Delivery (COD) or Cash on Pickup. Build unlimited, priority-ordered fee rules based on the product, category, cart amount, cart weight, quantity, customer role, location, shipping method, day of week, or date range — or set a one-click override fee on any individual product. Everything is simple to set up and requires no coding.

What Customers See

• A clear, labelled fee line – When a matching rule applies, the COD fee is added to the cart/checkout totals with a clear label (e.g. “COD Charges”), so customers always know exactly what they’re being charged and why.
• Only affects Cash on Delivery – The fee is calculated and applied only when a COD-type payment method is selected. Customers paying by card, PayPal, bank transfer, or any other gateway never see it.
• Instant recalculation – The fee updates live as the customer switches payment methods at checkout, on both the classic and block-based Checkout.

Unlimited, Priority-Ordered Fee Rules

• Create unlimited fee rules — no restriction on how many you build.
• Rules run in priority order; the first rule whose conditions all match is applied, so more specific rules can be checked before broad, catch-all rules.
• Every condition on a rule must match at the same time (AND logic), so you can combine conditions freely — e.g. “Product X + Quantity 1–10” or “Cart Amount + Cart Weight” for a true hybrid rule.
• Charge a Fixed amount or a Percentage of the cart total on every rule.
• Instantly toggle any rule Active/Inactive from the rules list, no need to open it.

11 Ways to Target a COD Fee

• Specific Products – target one or more exact products with a live product search.
• Product Categories – apply a fee when the cart contains a product from any selected category.
• Cart Amount Range – charge based on the cart subtotal, e.g. a surcharge on orders under $50.
• Cart Weight Range – charge based on total cart weight.
• Quantity in Cart – tiered fees based on how many items are in the cart.
• Customer Role – different fees for Wholesale, Retail, VIP, any custom role, or guest checkout.
• State / Province – location-based fees, matched against the customer’s billing or shipping address.
• Cities – target specific cities directly.
• Shipping Method – charge differently depending on the shipping zone/method chosen.
• Day of Week – add a weekend surcharge or a weekday-only fee.
• Date Range – perfect for holiday and peak-season COD surcharges.

Per-Product Fee Override

• Set a custom COD fee directly on any product’s edit screen — a dedicated “COD Fee” tab inside the Product Data panel.
• Choose Fixed or Percentage, independent of any rule.
• A product override always takes top priority over every fee rule.
• If several overridden products are in the same cart, the highest resulting fee is charged.

Automatic Fee Application

• Fees are calculated and applied automatically at checkout — no manual steps.
• The plugin resolves the fee in a clear, predictable order: Product Override → first matching Rule (by priority) → Default Fee.
• Works with WooCommerce’s native fee system (WC_Cart::add_fee()), so it appears correctly in cart totals, checkout, emails, and the order screen.
• Optionally show the matched rule’s name right inside the fee label — e.g. “COD Charges (Wholesale Surcharge)” — so it’s instantly clear which rule applied, even with many active rules.

Admin Features

• Dedicated Fee Rules screen with a clean list of every rule: name, condition summary, fee, priority, and status.
• One-click Active/Inactive toggle per rule, no page reload needed.
• Simple, guided rule builder — add or edit a rule from a single, well-organized form.
• Everything lives under WooCommerce → Settings, in its own “COD Fees” tab.

Settings

• Enable or disable the entire plugin with one toggle.
• Set a custom Fee Label shown to customers.
• Choose whether the fee is taxable.
• Optional Default Fee (fixed or percentage) applied when no rule matches.
• Optional “Show Rule Name in Fee Label” toggle for full transparency on which rule fired.

Compatibility

• Compatible with WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage).
• Works with both the classic and block-based Cart & Checkout.
• Only ever applies to Cash on Delivery / Cash on Pickup gateways — every other payment method is untouched.
• Translation-ready with a .pot language file included.
• Built with clean, lightweight, and WordPress coding standards — no custom database bloat beyond a single, indexed rules table.
