    Default Add Flat Handling Fee to all orders

    In searching for Handling Fee Modules for v 1.53 I am only finding results for per-product or product-specific fees. http://www.zen-cart.com/search.php?searchid=2838501

    What my client wants is to add a flat handling fee to all orders and to have it display as part of the order sub-total display.

    They had previously done this through source edits in an osCommerce store.

    Is there a module or better an admin setting whereby I can add their arbitrary charge to all orders?

    Your link will not work as that was a search unique to you ...

    If you need a handling fee on a separate line rather than as part of your shipping costs, you will probably need to write/customize an Order Total module for it. Can you give more information about the charge and whether it is always charged or just sometimes?

    If it is always charged, you could adapt the Low Order Total for the Order Totals to work and just trigger it for all orders regardless of price ...

    Thank you for the reply!

    They do wish to have every order (regardless of any other detail) charged an additional 3.50 USD and to have this fee labelled as a handling charge.

    Here is an actual example from their current osCommerce store for an item weighing 3oz. I mention that because it illustrates their mindset and business model...

    Code:
    Sub-Total:	$0.74
    Handling Fee:	$3.50
    FedEx (1 x 2.00lbs) (Ground Home Delivery):	$10.74
    Total:	$14.98
    I will look at Low Order Total now.

    Thank you.

    This was an excellent solution to the problem! I set the Low Order Fee module up like so

    Allow Low Order Fee
    true

    Order Fee For Orders Under
    $5,000.00

    Order Fee
    3.50

    And in /includes/languages/english/modules/order_total/ot_loworderfee.php I set the label

    define('MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_LOWORDERFEE_TITLE', 'Handling Fee');

    THANKS Ajeh!
