Overview:
Many stores want to have a simple shipping policy, but find that shipping to particular destinations caused additional expense. If this is you, Shipping Surcharge could solve your problem.Shipping Surcharge allows you to add a fee to the order total. The surcharge can be global or only applied when an order is being shipped to a specific zone. The fee can be a flat amount or a percentage of the subtotal, and is shown as an order total line item.

Installation Instructions:
- Back up everything! Try this in a test environment prior to installing it on a live shop.
- Copy the contents of the unzipped folder to the root directory of your shop.
- If you wish to limit the surcharge to a particular zone, go to Admin > Locations > Zone Definitions, and create the Zone that should be surcharged. (If you have never done this before, here are the steps for creating a new zone in Zen Cart.)
- Go to Admin > Modules > Order Total, select Shipping Surcharge, and press the Install button. Set the amount of the surcharge. If you are only charging the surcharge for a specific zone, set Surcharge Zone to the zone you just created.
- If desired, set weight and/or value thresholds for the surcharge. The surcharge will not be imposed unless the weight exceeds the weight threshold and/or the value exceeds the value threshold.
