Default fee: You will find a tab for each installed payment gateway. By default, additional fees are disabled for a payment gateway, so you need to enable it for each gateway and select what should be automatically added on checkout.

Default fee label: It helps you to set a custom text for the fee description. It is displayed as “Item Description” in the order item table on the checkout page.

Maximum fee: This option allows you to deactivate additional fees for a selected payment gateway if the total cart amount exceeds a certain amount. If you do not want to charge an additional fee when the user purchases $200 or more, insert “200” into the text field.

Default fee mode: Here you need to select from a dropdown if you want to charge event organizers based on per order or per ticket.

Fee types: here you need to select from a dropdown if you want to charge event organizers a fixed amount for tickets sold or you want to charge them on the basis of a percentage.

• “Fixed amount” – adds a fixed fee to the total cart value. If you enter 10 into the “Value to add” box, the plugin adds $10 to the total amount. (Note that $ is an example, as fees are based on your selected currency). If the cart total is $200, the total amount with the fee is $210 ($200 + $10).
• “Percentage” – adds a percentage-based fee to the total amount. If you enter 10 into the “Value to add” box, the plugin adds 10% of the cart total to the total amount. If the cart total is $200 the total amount is $220 ($200 + $20 ->10% of $200).
