    Default One Handling Fee for Whole Order

    We want to add one handling fee to every order.

    ShippingHandlingExtraFee adds it into the shipping costs, making it appear shipping is more expensive on our client's site than other sites.

    Adding a 'Handling Fee' product and making it required for all products adds the fee for each product in the cart. Obvious turn-off for customers.

    Other suggestions?

    No source code.

    Default

    One possible option you might consider is changing the string resource which says "Shipping:" and change it to "Shipping and Handling:" and then use the "ShippingHandlingExtraFee" AppConfig. Outside of this there's really no way to do such other than source code modification.

    We've implemented a "required product" type solution for a client without source modification.

    In the shipping page's code-behind (which should be available to you unless you are running ML-Express), we calculate and add this item (as I recall they referred to it as a packaging fee) to the shopping cart. Just make sure you calculate and make sure the item exists at that calculated price in the shopping cart every time the customer comes to this page.

    Sure the customer can go back to the cart and delete the item but when they come to the shipping page, it will magically re-appear.

    If you need help with this, this is the kind of custom work we can do for you. Just PM me if that is the case.

    Default Separating the service charge

    Separating the service charge from the shipping (UPS) charges. Someone must have separated them and know what to do.
    Havng separate markups on UPS is important too.
