Are you shipping within the U.S. and facing rising costs due to tariffs? With the right tools, you can add a clear, flexible surcharge right at checkout—preserving your catalog pricing and protecting your profit margins.
Easily Add a Tariff-Related Surcharge in BigCommerce
At IntuitSolutions, we help BigCommerce merchants adapt to tariff changes with tools like the Ebizio Checkout app and custom-developed checkout enhancements that automate surcharge implementation and maintain a seamless customer experience.
Our solutions let you:
- Apply a fee to specific SKUs or categories impacted by rising costs
- Use flat-rate or percentage-based calculations for flexibility
- Clearly display and explain the fee on product pages and within the checkout
- Track tariff surcharge revenue easily with built-in reporting tools
Can't I Just Update My Product Pricing to Account for Rising Costs?
Yes, you can. But you can achieve faster and more flexible results by adding a dedicated surcharge. Rather than manually adjusting hundreds or thousands of product prices, our product fee customization lets you:
- Keep base prices competitive while still protecting your margins
- Provide customers with visibility into the reasons for rising costs
- Respond quickly to future tariff changes, without needing a full pricing update
- Remove or adjust the fee easily as your cost structure evolves
Facing Tariff Uncertainty?
Let’s review your store and show you how to handle pricing changes with confidence.
Why Add a Tariff-Related Surcharge for Domestically Shipped Goods?
Even if your products are manufactured or shipped entirely within the U.S., you’re not immune to the ripple effects of tariffs, supplier pricing increases, or fuel and freight surcharges.
Rather than absorbing these expenses or adjusting every product price, many merchants are choosing to add a separate, clearly labeled product surcharge.
Clearly Communicate Additional Fees Across the Buyer Journey
Being transparent about rising costs helps preserve trust and reduce cart abandonment. You’re not limited to displaying fees only at checkout—you can proactively inform customers throughout the buyer journey.
We can help you implement custom messaging in key locations:
- Product Pages: Brief tooltips or notices near the price
- Cart Page: Visual callouts explaining any applied fees
- Checkout Step: Line items with optional hover text for context
Prepare for Rising Costs and Protect Your Bottom Line
Shifting tariffs and rising supply chain costs can disrupt operations fast. The good news? You can build a flexible system now that adapts as conditions change.
