    What would be the best way to add an additional fee to an already paid-for order and allow the customer to pay for the remaining balance?

    My scenario is the following:

    1. User purchases a product and pays for it.
    2. User realizes he/she made a mistake and contacts the store to modify the order.
    3. The items bought do not change, but I need to charge an extra fee, which I add to the order manually.
    4. I need the customer to pay for the remaining balance.

    And here is what I expected to work, but doesn’t quite:

    1. After my client contacts me I change the order status from “completed” to “on hold”.
    2. I edit the order and add the fee manually.
    3. I recalculate the totals.
    4. I change the order status from “on hold” to “payment pending”.

    However, when I do this and the client logs to their account and click on “pay” they are charged the full amount of the order, not just the remaining balance. It’s as if the system did not recognize the first payment.

    Any ideas?

  • Hi @hoiol,

    That’s an excellent question. The best way to handle this is to create a separate order for the extra fee. If the cost goes down, you can give a partial refund without any trouble, but there isn’t a corresponding way to add a cost to an order that’s already paid for. The customer will be charged the full amount of the order and not the balance due.

    If you have any questions, let us know.

    Cheers
