How Fees Display in Cart and Checkout

Updated this week

Cart Page

On your cart page, Canteen fees appear as a line item alongside your other products. The fee will show the fee product name (default: "Fee") and the calculated amount.

Customizing Cart Display

  • Change the fee name: See our guide on Changing "Fee" Name

  • Change the fee image: See our guide on Changing "Fee" Image

  • Show as a subtotal: It's possible to move the fee from the product list to display near the subtotal. See How to put "Fee" as a sub-total (requires theme code changes β€” professional service available)

Mini Cart / Slide-Out Cart / AJAX Cart

Most themes support Canteen in their slide-out or mini carts. If fees show on the full cart page but not in your theme's mini/slide-out cart:

  • This is usually a theme-specific issue

  • Try refreshing the page or navigating to the full cart page

  • Contact us with your theme name and we'll help

Checkout Page

The fee carries through to the checkout page as a regular line item. Shopify controls the checkout page layout, so the fee will display however Shopify formats line items in checkout.

You cannot customize how the fee appears on the checkout page β€” this is a Shopify platform limitation, not a Canteen limitation.

Order Confirmation & Invoices

The fee will appear on order confirmations and invoices as a separate line item, just like any other product in the order.
