How to add a single fee to total order amount?

Is there some way to add a single fee to total order amount? I spent the last five hours trying to accomplish this.

-There is a way to add a fee to each product, or product type
-There is a way to add a single percentage fee over the total order amount

But there seems to be NO way to add a (fixed) fee to the total order amount, as there is no rule like 'Add an amount to the total order balance'. I saw there are more people who questioned this, but they all don't get the answer they need.

Note that I want to be the fee a price component type (like tax, fee, etc.), so it appears at the review pane in the same way the tax is displayed... not as a line item.

Is there a way to accomplish this wit an additional module I overlooked, or has it to be done with a custom module or something like that?

Never done it but perhaps a little creative shuffling with the tax module? Add another tax with a specific value and rewrite the string with the string module so that you can give it any name you would like?

You can use rules, to insert a special product.
Either you allways add this product to the cart, when processind the purchase, or check for conditions first.

As I said in my post, I don't want to be this a product but a price component type. Otherwise it will confuse customers.

I figured out a solution for this problem. The 'discount module' lets you add a negative discount (or service charge) that you can label with anything you would like the user to see. Neat solution without additional rules on the site.
