Question

Is there a simple way to add a handling charge to the order (not to individual items) besides simply adding it to the shipping cost?

Answer

From v5.1 onwards, you can set the 'orderhandlingcharge' config setting to any value (of default currency). This will be shown at the check out stage on the order details. You will also need to set the 'orderhandlingchargetaxband' to a valid tax band (not zero, it should be the ID number of a tax band that you have set up in the back end).

To switch off the order handling charge, simply set it to zero - the handling charge section on the order details will not then appear.
