Fee Tutorial

The Fee Service allows you to manage additional fees that you want to connect to specific items. For example, you can add a fee and link it to a product or a payment type.

Fee types:

The Fee Service supports multiple fee types. Each type determines how the fee is calculated and applied:

• ABSOLUTE - A fixed amount fee applied regardless of the item’s price, for example, €3 packaging fee per product.

• PERCENTAGE - A fee calculated as a percentage of the item’s price, for example, 5% of the product price as a handling fee.

• ABSOLUTE_MULTIPLY_ITEMQUANTITY - Monetary amount multiplied by the item quantity and assigned to the item line.

If you're looking for information about fees and cart calculations, see How to calculate a payment fee at cart level and How is price calculated.

How to create a product fee

Follow these steps to create a fee and connect it to a product.

1

Create a fee

Send the request to the Creating a fee endpoint.

curl -i -X POST 
  'https://api.emporix.io/fee/{tenant}/fees' 
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>' 
  -H 'Content-Language: string' 
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 
  -d '{
    "name": {
      "de": "Sixpack PET",
      "en": "Sixpack PET"
    },
    "code": "apple_picking_fee",
    "feeType": "ABSOLUTE",
    "siteCode": "main",
    "feeAbsolute": {
      "amount": 3.5,
      "currency": "EUR"
    },
    "active": true,
    "taxable": false
  }'

Make sure you provide the relevant siteCode of a site that you want to apply the fee to.

2

Copy the feeId of the created fee

To add the fee to the specific product, send the request to the Adding a list of fees to a product endpoint. You need to add the feeId in the request.

curl -i -X PUT 
  'https://api.emporix.io/fee/{tenant}/productFees/{productId}/fees?siteCode=main&partial=false' 
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>' 
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 
  -d '{
    "feeIds": [
      "57b30fd2289c48001daf5486",
      "96b30fd4586c48001daf1752"
    ]
  }'

In the request path parameter, provide the productId to add the fee to. The siteCode in the query parameter must correspond to the site you've created the fee for.

3

Review the fee

To make sure the fee has been added properly, you can send the request to the Retrieving all fees with the given productId endpoint.

curl -i -X GET 
  'https://api.emporix.io/fee/{tenant}/productFees/{productId}/fees?siteCode=main&expand=false' 
  -H 'Accept-Language: *' 
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>'

In the query parameter, provide the siteCode of the specific site the fee was applied to, for example ?siteCode=DE.

Or, you can check if the fee was applied by sending the request to the Searching itemFees by productId endpoint.

curl -i -X POST 
  'https://api.emporix.io/fee/{tenant}/itemFees/searchByProductId' 
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>' 
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 
  -d '{
    "productId": "Apple_A_productId",
    "siteCodes": [
      "example_site_code"
    ],
    "pageNumber": 1,
    "pageSize": 10
  }'

To test the endpoint, open the API reference or check the example of a curl request.

How to create a payment fee

The Fee Service supports adding fees to payments methods. See the example of creating a fee for a payment type.

1

Create a fee

Send the request to the Creating a fee endpoint.

curl -i -X POST 
  'https://api.emporix.io/fee/{tenant}/fees' 
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>' 
  -H 'Content-Language: string' 
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 
  -d '{
    "name": {
      "de": "Sixpack PET",
      "en": "Sixpack PET"
    },
    "code": "apple_picking_fee",
    "feeType": "ABSOLUTE",
    "siteCode": "main",
    "feeAbsolute": {
      "amount": 3.5,
      "currency": "EUR"
    },
    "active": true,
    "taxable": false
  }'

When creating a payment fee, the fee code has to be identical with the payment mode code. To check the available payment modes for a given site, make a call to the Retrieving all the payment modes endpoint first.

Notice the code in the above payload corresponds to the payment mode code we want ta apply the fee to.

2

Copy the feeId of the created fee

To connect the fee to the specific payment type, create the item fee by sending the request to the Creating itemFee endpoint and specify the itemYrn of the chosen payment type in the request body.

curl -i -X POST 
  'https://api.emporix.io/fee/{tenant}/itemFees' 
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>' 
  -H 'Content-Language: string' 
  -H 'Content-Type: application:json' 
  -d '[object Object]'

Note that the part of itemYrn contains the payment mode code which is identical with the fee code.

3

Apply the fee to the payment mode

Send a request to the Adding a list of fees to an item endpoint. You need to specify the itemYrn of the chosen payment type in the request path and pass the feeId in the body.

curl -i -X PUT 
  'https://api.emporix.io/fee/{tenant}/itemFees/{itemYRN}/fees?partial=false' 
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>' 
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 
  -d '{
    "feeIds": [
      "57b30fd2289c48001daf5486",
      "96b30fd4586c48001daf1752"
    ]
  }'

This operation overwrites the item's fees. For each payment mode you can create and connect one fee only.

4

Review the fee

Send the request to the Checking of a fee has been applied endpoint.

curl -i -X POST 
  'https://api.emporix.io/fee/{tenant}/itemFees/search?siteCode=main' 
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>' 
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 
  -d '{
    "itemYrns": [
      "urn:yaas:saasag:caasproduct:product:tenantName;5c2e4957a46b0e0008491095",
      "urn:yaas:saasag:caasproduct:product:tenantName;5c2e4957a46b0e0008491096"
    ],
    "siteCode": "main"
  }'

The response contains the details of the fee applied to the payment for a given site.

To test the endpoint, open the API reference or check the example of a curl request.
