Advanced Cash on Delivery Fees for WooCommerce

Advanced Cash on Delivery Fees for WooCommerce lets you charge a fixed or percentage based fee whenever a customer pays with Cash on Delivery (COD) or Cash on Pickup. Build unlimited, priority-ordered fee rules based on the product, category, cart amount, cart weight, quantity, customer role, location, shipping method, day of week, or date range — or set a one-click override fee on any individual product. Everything is simple to set up and requires no coding.

What Customers See

A clear, labelled fee line – When a matching rule applies, the COD fee is added to the cart/checkout totals with a clear label (e.g. “COD Charges”), so customers always know exactly what they’re being charged and why.
Only affects Cash on Delivery – The fee is calculated and applied only when a COD-type payment method is selected. Customers paying by card, PayPal, bank transfer, or any other gateway never see it.
Instant recalculation – The fee updates live as the customer switches payment methods at checkout, on both the classic and block-based Checkout.

Unlimited, Priority-Ordered Fee Rules

Create unlimited fee rules — no restriction on how many you build.
Rules run in priority order; the first rule whose conditions all match is applied, so more specific rules can be checked before broad, catch-all rules.
Every condition on a rule must match at the same time (AND logic), so you can combine conditions freely — e.g. “Product X + Quantity 1–10” or “Cart Amount + Cart Weight” for a true hybrid rule.
Charge a Fixed amount or a Percentage of the cart total on every rule.
Instantly toggle any rule Active/Inactive from the rules list, no need to open it.

11 Ways to Target a COD Fee

Specific Products – target one or more exact products with a live product search.
Product Categories – apply a fee when the cart contains a product from any selected category.
Cart Amount Range – charge based on the cart subtotal, e.g. a surcharge on orders under $50.
Cart Weight Range – charge based on total cart weight.
Quantity in Cart – tiered fees based on how many items are in the cart.
Customer Role – different fees for Wholesale, Retail, VIP, any custom role, or guest checkout.
State / Province – location-based fees, matched against the customer’s billing or shipping address.
Cities – target specific cities directly.
Shipping Method – charge differently depending on the shipping zone/method chosen.
Day of Week – add a weekend surcharge or a weekday-only fee.
Date Range – perfect for holiday and peak-season COD surcharges.

Per-Product Fee Override

Set a custom COD fee directly on any product’s edit screen — a dedicated “COD Fee” tab inside the Product Data panel.
Choose Fixed or Percentage, independent of any rule.
A product override always takes top priority over every fee rule.
If several overridden products are in the same cart, the highest resulting fee is charged.

Automatic Fee Application

Fees are calculated and applied automatically at checkout — no manual steps.
The plugin resolves the fee in a clear, predictable order: Product Override → first matching Rule (by priority) → Default Fee.
Works with WooCommerce’s native fee system (WC_Cart::add_fee()), so it appears correctly in cart totals, checkout, emails, and the order screen.
Optionally show the matched rule’s name right inside the fee label — e.g. “COD Charges (Wholesale Surcharge)” — so it’s instantly clear which rule applied, even with many active rules.

Admin Features

Dedicated Fee Rules screen with a clean list of every rule: name, condition summary, fee, priority, and status.
One-click Active/Inactive toggle per rule, no page reload needed.
Simple, guided rule builder — add or edit a rule from a single, well-organized form.
Everything lives under WooCommerce → Settings, in its own “COD Fees” tab.
