I would like to add an additional fee to a product. This fee will then be calculated on top of the product's price. So in the catalog the regular product price will be displayed, and in the cart/checkout/emails/etc the price+addedfee will be displayed. Any specials or discounts will have to apply to the product's price only, and not the additional fee.

so basically I want the final price to be:

price = (magentos-calculated-product-price) + added-fee + tax-over-both

and in the cart I want to display for each item:

name | amount | unit price | added fee | subtotal

I know how to create a custom product attribute and how to sync that attribute to a quote and then an order. Also, editing the templates is not a problem.

What I would like to know is how and where should I do the price calculation? Should I use an event (which one?) or should I overwrite a core model?

There seem to be many different ways to accomplish this, and I don't want to break discount calculation or admin functionality.

Well if your fee is flat using a shopping cart price rule may be a good option.

Otherwise you can use catalog_product_get_final_price event.

  • looks like this might be the way to go. For some reason however, in my even observer, the product gotten from $observer->getEvent()->getProduct() does not contain a custom attribute that I have added. Do you know why this might be? (the attribute works fine everywhere else)

  • lol fair enough. Thanks for your answer, it looks like it's the way to go and if I can get this attribute thing working, I will mark it as accepted. For anyone interested, i asked the question here: magento.stackexchange.com/questions/21570/…

You can extend the Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Type_Price model and overwrite the getFinalPrice() method.

  • I have just tested this and it seems to work fine. Is there any event that you know of that I could use instead? (So I won't have to modify core files)

It is not the same question, but I think the same answer:

If you want to have this fee on order level, you might want to implement your own total model for this.
