Price Modifiers

Price modifiers allow for charging extra fees based on the variants a user has in their basket.

Example: if you have a large or bulky item that is expensive to ship, you can set up a price modifier to charge an extra shipping fee on that item.
Note: if you put a negative value (-$2 instead of $2 fee) the price modifier becomes a discount.

Price modifiers are shown to the customer at checkout, with an explanation tooltip.

📣 If sales file is applicable to your organization, note that price modifiers are not handled on the sales file.

To manage delivery fees, navigate to the Price Modifiers page in Foxtrot.
