Also, you can go to ‘manage’ on the right side and edit the text as I have underlined in the below image.
Great, the COD payment is enabled on your website. Now, it’s the time to add an extra fees here.

After installing and activating the plugin, you need to go to its settings. Go to WooCommerce >> Settings >> Then click on the tab named “Payment Gateway Based Fees and Discounts”, as shown in the image below.
Under that tab, click on “General” sub-tab, then you need to Enable the plugin by marking a tick. Make sure to press “save changes’ at the end of the page.
