How to Set Up Recycling Fees on Your Shopify Store
Step-by-step setup for recycling fees using Magical Fees & Tariffs on Shopify.
Overview
Recycling Fees: Recycling fees fund the collection and responsible disposal of products like mattresses, electronics, and batteries. They are required in many U.S. states and EU countries under extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws. Each jurisdiction sets mandated amounts per product category. Merchants must collect the correct fee and remit it to the designated recycling programs.
