I don't think we have a good way to do this yet. It's the same problem as an order-level discount. There are lots of things that need this. A custom line item with a small bit of code would allow providing the fee.

I'm looking for the same thing; sounds like I've got awhile to wait if the API doesn't even support it yet. Anyway, for reference, drupal.org/project/uc_pma is the Ubercart analogue, but it would be awesome if DC had this too.

I'd donate cookies to someone if they'd work on this.

EDIT: It's been suggested that I can just use Rules for this, but have no idea which event to build my rule around, or even what strategy is best to employ to make this happen... Suggestions?

I need help with this exact issue too.

I posted two similar questions and hope you could easily answer it.

My Event Registration page is almost done except for price adjustment with Rules.
https://www.purtle.com/pbc-registration

For example, on that page the 6 items under "Conference Fee: $250" are SKUs that total $337.

I believe I am very close except for my desired action to subtract only $87 from the total.

It needs to be a flat amount and not a percentage or amount off the unit price of each item. I need the set amount so that if other items are added to the cart it won't take off money from those items. I want it to show a "Discount" amount between the Subtotal and Total.

I have watched a bunch of videos on Rules and DC and think it should be possible. But, I don't know how or what I am missing.
Do I have to do something with an entity? Or, create a new line item type for a discount? Or, can this all be done with Rules?

Randy Fay told me about this forum post and said the following:
"Right now, I don't think there has been a good module developed to do order-level discounts. What's required for this is a special line item (like used for shipping) that does nothing but present a discount. It shouldn't be a hard module, but I don't think anybody has done it."

I would be help contribute a little money to someone could get this done soon.
I need it done asap though.

I wonder if I can use Commerce Coupon and it's Action to
Create Coupon Line Item

Has anyone done that?
Just an idea. I am playing with it now.
