When creating an order fee in Magical Product Fees, you can choose to apply the fee to either the order subtotal or the order total.
- Order subtotal: This option is available on all plans. The fee is calculated based on the subtotal before any discounts, taxes, or shipping.
- Order total: This option is only available on the Growth Plan with Shopify Plus. The fee is calculated based on the total after discounts, taxes, and shipping.
To set this up, create a new fee, choose Order as the type, then select either Subtotal or Total under the conditions section. If you do not see the "Order Total" option, your store may not be on Shopify Plus.
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.
“Magical Fees is the only fee app that allows you to apply a fee based on a specific or individual state/province situation. All the other apps we tested only allow 'Location' (the entire country) which is a major limitation. The solution Magical Fees applies during the Cart to Checkout process is very smart and not a hassle. Very easy app to setup and the support was great.”
