Bulk Add Charges

This is a mechanism for adding sales tax to certain items, but it can also be used to add specific amounts to multiple carts as well. If you select an amount, you can then select the cart(s) to add to. If you select a percent, then you need to pick the line items within each cart to apply the % to. In both cases, it will basically add a misc. charge for the set or calculated amount, with whatever description you provide.
  • In your Guest Carts page click on Bulk Add Charges as shown below.
