Managing additional costs

Create additional costs to add extra costs to the customer's cart or to specific items. For example, shipping costs or transaction fees.

Feature access

Only admins and Application admins have access to this feature.

Additional costs can be applied to the entire customer session or to individual cart items. You can discount them using the following effects:

• Discount additional cost: For discounting additional costs applied to the entire session.
• Discount additional cost per item: For discounting additional costs applied to individual cart items.

To display the additional costs, click Account > Tools > Additional Costs

The Additional Costs page contains the following information on each of them:

Column	Description
Title	Name of the additional cost as it appears in the Rule Builder.
