1. Is it possible to set the payment gateway fees/discounts based on specific customer countries in the LITE version?
The LITE version doesn’t include the option to set payment gateway fees or discounts based on specific customer countries. However, the PRO version provides this feature, allowing you to select the countries where you’d like to apply these fees or discounts. The fee/discount will be applied only if the customer’s billing country is listed in the “Countries to include” section. Conversely, the fee/discount will be excluded for countries listed in the “Countries to exclude” section. This feature is particularly beneficial for businesses that need to charge fees or discounts to specific countries or exclude certain countries from these charges.
The Pro version gives you a very tight control & boosts your store with so many useful features that it’s difficult to look away.
