Hi Everyone!

I'm having a tough time trying to figure out how to do this. Basically, I want to add a packaging fee, $4.95, to each order (as in the entire order, not each product unit). I want to make this fee mandatory...like a sales tax, but I want it to be a set amount. I want to show this fee after the customer selects the shipping service, at the order total. Because I do not want to make this fee an option, like a shipping service, I want it to be mandatory. Is there any way of doing this?

I tried creating a packaging fee as a product, "Packaging Fee", that would be added to each order once an item was placed in the shopping cart, but that caused a major memory leak! It basically wouldn't stop adding the Packaging Fee product, even though I had only 1 item in the cart.

The idea would have been to add 1 Packaging Fee, regardless of how many products are in my cart.

I tried adding the fee as some kind of tax, but that didn't work either because I don't want to calculate it based on a percentage like a tax, I want to set it as a set amount.

I tried creating a rule to add this fee at checkout when the order total is given, but I can't find an action that would apply to it. I tried using the action of collecting shipping rates, but that didn't work.

Can you guys please suggest a good way of doing this?

Thank you!
