transaction fee

[Stephan Griesel]

Hi there,

First of all, I LOVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEE WPEC extension, works great. Perfect for events.

I came across this on the support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-e-commerce-handling-fee-for-only-some-categories

it is something similar to what I want to do but I want to apply transaction fee to different products, not on all site wide.

If event entry is for example $5 for kids, $7 for adults and $10 for group then I want to add separate transaction fee for each item. I don’t want to add it to the total of the ticket cost, just add on to cover my transaction costs. So for example it would be something like this, ticket price for kids $5 + transaction cost of $0.50, on checkout the total of $5.50 would be billed to the users account.

Would this be possible?

Hey Stephan,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

For our Ticketing plugins, all of the payment processing as well as product pricing is handled by the shopping cart system of your choice.

I did do a little digging and did find something that may help to get you pointed in the right direction. If you’re willing to dig into the code a little bit, https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-e-commerce-bulk-category-pricing/ allows you to bulk add discounts and other modifications to a category of products, you could use that as a starting point for the addition of the transaction fee that you would like to add.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

Thank you for this Josh. I see the plugin not really supported anymore, do you think it is safe to use?

I have tested it now and does not exactly what I want it to do, it applies discount for certain amount of tickets bought together at once not add price on top of it 🙁

Hey Stephan,

Yeah, unfortunately that plugin won’t work as-is for the specific functionality you’re looking for. I suggested it since it looked like it could be a great starting point for figuring out how to get the customization you would like.

Since it does impact price based on the category of the products, you could use some of the code within the plugin as a starting point for adding the transaction fee rather than applying a discount.

I know its not a direct answer or a solution, but it should help to get you pointed in the right direction for the customization.

Thanks!

Yep im still not too comfortable with the coding. Found something for WooCommerce that does this (https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-product-fees/) but still nothing for WP eCommerce, will continue searching. Thank you for your help 🙂

Hey Stephan,

No problem. Sorry I wasn’t able to find a complete solution for you on this one.

I’ll go ahead and close this thread for now. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to open a new thread.

Thanks!
