    Tariff fee on certain products

    Hi,
    We have to add a tariff fee on specific products. The amount is 10% of the cost of the product. How can I add this fee so that the amount shows up in the basket separate from the product price? We do not want to just raise the price by 10% in case the amount changes soon as it involves a lot of products.

    Thank you

    If there are not a large number of products you could use the new Product Charges & Fees module. You could create a Tariff fee and assign it to the products that need the fee. Unfortunately the module does not have the ability to add a percentage based fee but if there are not a large number of products you could calculate the value and manually set each product tariff fee.

    Here is more information on the module: https://support.miva.com/hc/en-us/ar...nd-Fees-Module

      Nick,
      I figured out a way to do it by setting up a Price Group with the type as Markup from Cost. We only have to do this for one product line, but it is a lot of items all at different prices, so I need one place to be able to change the percent amount if it changes again for us. I did look at the Product Charges & Fee module and I think it would have worked if you could do a percent.

      If anyone else has another idea about a better way to do this that would make the fee its own line item I am open to suggestions!

      Thank you,
      Theresa

          I had a store that needs a 25% Markup. So I used the Price Groups Legacy Discount from Retail and used -25.00 - it works just as needed. Products can be assigned to the Price Group.

            Scot @ scotsscripts.com also has a Basket Charge module which will allow you to use SMT code to dynamically add such charges. (Note: this is a "developer's" module as you'd need to understand basic SMT coding to use it).

            The main advantage to this approach is that you can have this additional fee as a seperate basket line item and lable it as desired.
