Payment Method Fee

Payment Method Fee Review

Introduction

Payment Method Fee is an OpenCart extension that allows shop owners to charge custom fees for specific payment methods. With this extension, you can encourage customers to pay using a particular payment method by imposing a fee for other methods. In this review, I’ll take a closer look at how to install and configure the extension, and share my experience with its features and limitations.

What does it do?

The Payment Method Fee extension is designed to help shop owners charge custom fees for various payment methods. The fees can be set for any payment method installed on your OpenCart store, and the extension allows you to choose which user groups have access to these fees.

How to install it?

Installing the Payment Method Fee extension is relatively straightforward. You’ll need to upload the zip file to your OpenCart admin panel, navigate to the Order Totals section, and click "Install". Once installed, you can configure the extension by clicking the "Edit" button next to it.

Demonstration

The demonstration provided shows the extension in action. The admin panel walk-through is helpful in getting started with the extension. The login credentials for the demo admin and customer panels are also provided.

Notes

The developer notes that they haven’t tested the extension on other OpenCart versions beyond the specified ones, but they’re willing to help with integration if needed.

Score: 0

Unfortunately, I had to rate this extension 0/10 due to the lack of documentation, unclear instructions, and absence of any notable features. While the developer provides a basic overview of how to install and configure the extension, there’s little information on how to set up custom fees or troubleshoot any issues that may arise. Additionally, the demo is quite limited, making it difficult to get a full understanding of the extension’s capabilities.

Conclusion

While the Payment Method Fee extension has the potential to be a useful tool for OpenCart store owners, it’s clear that the developer has put very little effort into creating a quality extension. Without clear documentation, useful features, and proper testing, it’s difficult to recommend this extension to anyone. If you’re looking for a reliable and well-maintained extension for managing payment fees, I would suggest exploring other options.
