INFO
If you do not see Surcharges in the menu, switch it on in System › Store features.
Surcharges are optional add-on fees that customers can choose when buying a product. They are used for services such as installation, applying a screen protector, extended warranty or other extras.
The surcharges page
The surcharges page combines a form for creating new surcharges at the top with the list of existing surcharges further down on the same page.
Creating a new surcharge
Language tabs
Above the form there are tabs with the codes of the languages your store runs in (e.g. SK, EN, CS). Click a language tab and enter the name of the surcharge and its options in that language.
Form fields
- Name — The surcharge name in each language (e.g. "Screen protector application"). This is the name the customer sees on the product page.
- Display Type — A dropdown with two options:
- Checkbox (single toggle) — The customer sees a simple checkbox to switch the surcharge on/off with a single price
- Select (multiple options) — The customer sees a dropdown with several options, each with its own price (e.g. different installation levels)
- Tax Class — The VAT class used when charging the surcharge; Default tax class uses the store's default class
- Active — A checkbox to activate or deactivate the surcharge
- Required — When ticked, the customer has to choose the surcharge (or one of its options)
Surcharge options
Each surcharge has one or more options:
- Option name — The name in the given language (e.g. "Basic installation")
- Price — A numeric field in € (e.g. 10, 200)
- Enabled — A checkbox to activate that option
Add another option with Add Option.
TIP
With the Checkbox type, one option is usually enough. With the Select type, add several options with different prices so the customer can choose the service level.
Saving
Click Create New Surcharge to save.
The list of existing surcharges
Below the form is the list of all created surcharges. Each surcharge card shows:
- The surcharge name
- Type — A badge with the display type (
checkboxorselect) - The Tax Class and the Required / Inactive badges when they apply
- Options with prices — e.g. "Application — 10 €", "Installation — 200 €"
Surcharge actions
- Edit (pencil icon) — Opens an inline edit form right below the card with the same fields as when creating. When done, click Save or Cancel.
