How can I pass credit card transaction fees onto the customer using Webflow and Stripe?
To pass credit card transaction fees onto the customer using Webflow and Stripe, you can follow these steps:
Set up a Webflow E-commerce site: If you haven't done so already, create an E-commerce site on Webflow and integrate it with Stripe as the payment gateway. This will enable you to process credit card payments on your site.
Enable dynamic pricing: In order to pass transaction fees onto the customer, you need to set up dynamic pricing for your products. This will allow you to calculate the fees based on the customer's selected items.
Calculate the transaction fees: Use a formula to calculate the transaction fees based on the total amount of the order. For example, if Stripe charges a 3% fee on each transaction, you can multiply the total order amount by 0.03 to get the fee.
Add the transaction fees to the product price: Once you have calculated the transaction fees, add them to the price of each product. You can do this by creating a custom field in the Webflow CMS for the product price including the fees.
Display the adjusted price on the website: Make sure to display the adjusted product price, including the transaction fees, on your site. This will inform customers of the additional charges they will incur.
Customize the checkout process: In the Webflow Designer, you can customize the checkout page to display the transaction fees as a separate line item in the order summary. This will give customers a clear breakdown of their charges.
Configure Stripe to apply the fees: Within your Stripe account, you can enable the option to apply the transaction fees at the time of payment. This will ensure that the fees are accurately calculated and charged to the customer.
Communicate the fee policy: It is important to clearly communicate your transaction fee policy to customers. This can be done through terms and conditions, pop-ups, or tooltips during the checkout process, ensuring transparency and minimizing confusion.
By following these steps, you can pass credit card transaction fees onto the customer using Webflow and Stripe. Remember to test the checkout process thoroughly to ensure that the fees are applied correctly and reflect the desired outcome.
