Non-inventory products can be added to sales to charge customers variable fees, like the Minnesota Retail Delivery Fee, to help ensure you're collecting and tracking all fees applicable to your business.

Adding a variable fee product to your catalog

You can add a non-inventory product to organize fees associated with your sales. Some examples of non-inventory products that might have customized fees include:

• Gift wrapping: Customized packaging and wrapping.
• Installation services: Fees for setting up appliances, electronics, or furniture.
• Item engraving: Personalized messages or designs for custom gifts like jewelry and trophies.
• Product repairs: Charges for fixing damaged items.
• Rush orders: Additional fees for expedited production or delivery.
• Shipping costs: Different fees based on delivery distance, speed, or weight.
• Training or workshops: Fees for educational and skill-building sessions.

1. Navigate to Catalog > Products.
2. Click Add Product.

   

3. Enter the product name according to how it should appear to your customers.

7. Click Save.
