What is a cash on delivery payment fee?

It is an extra charge at checkout when a customer chooses Cash on Delivery as a payment option. It is a COD fee tied to the payment method, not a shipping charge.

Is a payment fee different from a COD fee?

They refer to the same charge. You can label it cash on delivery payment fee, COD fee, or COD handling fee at checkout.

Does the payment fee apply to every payment method?

No. The cash on delivery payment fee is added only when Cash on Delivery is selected at checkout. Other payment options are not charged the COD fee.

Can the payment fee be fixed or a percentage?

Yes. Configure either a fixed cash on delivery payment fee or a percentage COD fee on the order total.

Will the payment fee change my shipping setup?

No. The cash on delivery payment fee is a separate checkout line. Shipping rates and non-COD payment methods stay the same.

Benefits Overview

Why add a cash on delivery payment fee

Key ways Wix merchants use this setup to improve product clarity and shopper confidence before checkout.

Fee tied to the payment method

A cash on delivery payment fee charges the COD payment option, not every customer. Prepaid checkout stays without the COD fee line.

Clear payment fee at checkout

Shoppers see the cash on delivery payment fee on the checkout summary when they pick COD, with your custom label and tax settings.

No impact on other payment options

The cash on delivery payment fee does not touch card, wallet, or other methods. Configure once and it runs on COD checkouts automatically.

Personalization Flow

Why merchants add a cash on delivery fee

Cash on Delivery creates real handling and collection costs. A dedicated COD fee at checkout lets you recover those expenses, keep totals transparent, and leave prepaid orders untouched.

Fee on the COD payment option

Cash on delivery is a payment choice with extra cost. A COD payment fee recovers that on the method that creates it, not on every sale.
