About the Additional Service Plugin
As an additional fees calculation provider, you can integrate with Wix to allow merchants to request and use your services on their Wix sites. The additional fees you calculate are then included on the site's cart and checkout pages.
The integration is done via an app in the Wix App Market and by implementing the Additional Fees service plugin. After the app is installed on a site, Wix triggers a call to your service whenever the site needs to calculate additional fees for a transaction.
Using the service plugin, you can design your app to calculate various additional fees for the merchant's customers, including:
- Fragile packaging fees
- Shipping insurance fees
- Item warranty fees
- Gift wrapping fees
- Carbon offset fees
