Hi there,

Is the an extension or a way to Charge a nominal fee for cash on delivery, like a deposit

So say you have a basket with £100 of items

You select 'Cash on Delivery' as payment

Then pay a nominal fee say.. £1 on checkout via paypal

This would work for authenticated customers. Although, how would a guest be recognized whenever a completed order versus a donation has been processed since donating does not involved an order ID or an invoice ID as PayPal neither provides a Transaction ID with donation marks?

We only allow authenticated customers and the guest checkout is disabled as we do all our own deliveries. We want to add this nominal fee to cash on delivery items to stop people placing an order and not being around/changing their mind on delivery day.

Thanks!

This methodology would still give the benefit to customers to file a dispute to the gateway (such as PayPal) so for customers to obtain a full refund during the first two weeks period. Merchants would still be forced to refund the customer afterwards.

If you duplicated the PayPal method, you could retitle the second instance to "Cash on Delivery (+ 1.00 fee)" or something like that. You could then use Payment-Based Fee/Discount to set a fee that was -100% + 1.00, resulting in a 1.00 payment. The only downside is it'd end up looking like this:

Sub-Total: £100.00
Shipping: £15.00
Taxes: £23.00
Cash on Delivery To Be Paid: -£137.00
Total: £1.00
