Order totals are the pages displayed to customers when they purchase products from your AbanteCart store. In the AbanteCart dashboard, head to Extensions > Order Totals to view the list of order total sections.
Some of these order totals are configured when you install AbanteCart, while others need to be enabled manually.
Let’s discuss each in turn.
Handling Fee
The Handling Fee order total is disabled by default, but can be easily enabled by clicking its On button under the Status column, then clicking the Check icon to save. The Edit button at the end of the row allows you to customize the fee.
In the Edit Order Totals page, complete the form with the following information:
