Fee type products are do not have any access credentials associated with them. They are typically created to apply customer service charges, issue credits, or to assess other fees. They are a valuable feature for your site, so we definitely recommend setting up these types of products.
Create a Customer Service (CS) Adjustable fee type product:
1. Log in to the administrative end of your site.
2. Click the "Products" tab on the left-hand menu.
3. Click the green button labeled "Add New Product" on the top right-hand corner of the screen.
4. Enter the information requested (see screenshot below):
- Product Name: Enter the name you would like displayed for this product ex. "CS Adjustable".
- Product Type: Select "Fee".
- Unit of Measure (UM): The standard UM is 'each'; this setting simply describes what one purchase is for.
- Price per UM: Enter $0.00.
- Minimum Purchase Quantity: Select "1".
- Maximum Purchase Quantity: Select "1".
- Apply Sales Tax? Toggle: We recommend creating two nearly identical "CS Adjustable" products, with the only difference being one that is taxed and the other that is tax-exempt. This way, you will have both options available for different situations.
5. Click "Continue" for the product to be generated.
