Yes, in many themes, fees added by Magical Fees can appear in cart progress bars (like free shipping thresholds). This happens because most themes calculate progress based on everything in the cart, including fee line items.
Magical Fees does not have any native integration with progress bars and cannot change how they calculate values.
What you can do
If you want the progress bar to exclude fees, the next step is to contact your theme developer. They may be able to adjust how the progress bar logic calculates cart totals.
Always label deposits separately for compliance
Display bottle deposit fees as a clearly labeled, separate line item at checkout and on receipts. This meets regulatory transparency requirements, builds customer trust by showing exactly what they're paying, and makes it significantly easier to track deposits for reporting and audits. Use a clear label like "Bottle deposit" or "Container deposit (CRV)" so customers immediately understand the charge.
