fees for payment methods / types

[Robert Gan]

Hey guys,

I am using Cash on delivery (COD) as a payment method. This way the customer pays the amount to the shipper when he gets the item. Normally COD does have extra costs by the carrier, so I would like to let the customer pay it (i.ex. customer chooses ground delivery (+5USD) and than chooses COD as payment method, there I want to add 5USD, so alltogether 10USD for the delivery as extra costs.).

Do you know if its ootb in Ofbiz? How do you handle it?

thanks

Robert

This is in all likelihood not available OOTB & will require custom
development.

There's actually an implementation on adding COD surcharge while confirming
shipments with UPS, you can have a look at that and see if that suits your
requirements.

May be you would want to apply COD surcharge to shipping estimates and
present it to the customer beforehand or may be give an indication that COD
surcharge may apply.

Hey Varun,

thanks for your reply. Ah you mean the surcharge, which I can add within the shippment.properties (or a similar name, have it not in my mind now).

your statement:
"May be you would want to apply COD surcharge to shipping estimates and
present it to the customer beforehand or may be give an indication that COD
surcharge may apply. "

does it mean, that it is allready there, that I can show it to the customer beforehand? Or is that not implemented yet?

Another easy way would be to add a shipping method named COD, where I can define the costs, but in fact COD is a payment method.

In general it is also interesting to apply fees for different payment methods in case that I want to let the customer pay my Paypal fees, but this is not ootb, right?

 - Its better to show rates (inclusive of COD surcharge) being charged
beforehand. Neither of the above is available OOTB.

 - I'm not sure if it will a good idea to define a new shipping method
named COD.
