Home / Plugin: Cost Calculator Builder / configuration formula
Hello,
many thanks for the ingenious plugin.
I would like to create a fee calculator for Paypal. For this I need to add a service, e.g. Paypal Checkout. Then I need fees of 2,99% and a fixed fee of 0,39€.
How can I achieve this? What is the formula for this?
Kind regards
Daniel
Hello,
You are welcome and thank you to you too!
Fixed fees can be included by using Formula field element, in the Formula you can add the needed elements and add them fixed numbers, so the Formula will be calculated in the total with the included fees as well. For details, you can check this [manual]
Cheers
Hello @mgordon7,
thank you for your quick feedback.
I have watched the video but unfortunately I can’t get it to work.
Could you please set up the formula for me?
The cost calculator is already completely built, only the calculation is missing.
I would like to try it out on my website first and then of course recommend it to my customers, because it’s a cool thing.
best regards
Daniel
You can simply add the elements in the Formula element and add extra like A + 3 and so on.
Best regards
Hello @mgordon7,
thank you for your support.
I have inserted the formula but it does not work
B * C * + F
what is wrong here?
best regards

Hey @virtual03,
In “B * C * + F” you’re using two operators in a row, “*” and “+”, which is causing the issue. Here, you should either only use “*”: “B * C * F“, or only “+”: B * C + F“, depending on your needs.
The formula for the fee you want is something among the lines of:
{sub_total} * 0.0299 + 0.39
Here, {sub_total} is the total element you have, “0.0299” is the 2.99%, and “0.39” is the fixed fee.
I hope this helps!
Kind regards,
Hi @lozesaint,
Thank you for your tips. The calculator works now, but it calculates the fees incorrectly. I will send you a srceenshot
the fees should be added once and calculated once.
What is the problem?
Kind regards
Daniel

Based on your screenshots your custom formula operates correctly. Can you clarify why you think that the formulas calculate incorrectly?
Best regards
