Product Fees

Product Fees let you add an additional fee on top of the product price at checkout.

Product Fees are available on the Grow plan and above. See Plans & Billing for more details.

How Product Fees Work

When a customer purchases a product with a fee applied, the fee is automatically added at checkout through Shopify's product bundle feature. The customer sees the fee as a separate line item so they know exactly what they're paying.

Notice: Auction Plus creates a product in your Shopify store for each fee, which is bundled into checkout. If this product is deleted from Shopify, fees will not be applied at checkout. To ensure fees are applied correctly, do not delete or modify this product.

Fee Types

You can choose between two fee structures:

• Percentage -- The fee is calculated as a percentage of the product price. For example, a 10% fee on a $100 product adds a $10 fee at checkout.

• Fixed -- The fee is a flat dollar amount regardless of the product price. For example, add a $5 fee to the product price at checkout.

• Products -- Standard product listings.

• Auctions -- Auction listings.

Apply To

Choose the scope of the fee:

• All -- The fee applies to all products and auctions.

• Specific Collections -- The fee applies only to products within selected Shopify collections.

• Specific Products -- The fee applies only to specific products you select.

• Auctions -- The fee applies only to specific auction listings you select.

Note: Product-type fees (All, Specific Collections, or Specific Products) also apply to auction items at checkout if the auction is tied to a matching Shopify product.

Choose Percentage or Fixed, then enter the amount.

Status

• Active -- The fee is live and will be applied at checkout.

• Disabled -- The fee is saved but won't be applied until you activate it.

Fee Hierarchy

When multiple fees could apply to the same product, Auction Plus uses the most specific fee:

1. Specific product fees take priority over everything else.

2. Specific collection fees take priority over "all" fees.

3. "All" fees are used when no other rules apply.

Note: Only one fee is applied per product. The most specific matching fee is applied -- fees are not stacked on top of each other.
