Fixed fees are a Calendar-only feature. They let you surface itemized fees in the rent buttons block on the storefront. Subscription, Membership, and Resale don’t have an equivalent.
Sometimes the cost of renting can be difficult for a customer to understand. Why would someone rent something when they can own it for less than double the price (that’s a rhetorical question - we know why!)? One way to help the customer see value is to break down the price using fees. You could include things like:
  • Cleaning
  • Insurance
  • Return shipping
Fixed fees are not included in the price of a rental period.

In this example the total price of a 4 day rental would be £30 + £20 cleaning fee + £12 insurance = £62.

To create a fixed fee, go to Supercycle > Settings in your Shopify admin. Click the Calendar rental tab and You can set a default value for your fixed fee here, which can be overridden on a product’s calendar settings in Supercycle.
When you create a new fixed fee, we don’t automatically add it to existing products. To do this, you’ll need to turn calendar rental off and on again on the product. To exclude a fixed fee on a specific product, you can set its value to 0.
Fees are displayed to the customer on the rent buttons block and summarized on the line item in the cart/checkout.
