Calculate wrapping fees flexibly
Mageplaza Gift Wrap extension allows online retailers to charge a fixed fee for gift wrapping service or calculate the cost based on the number of selected wrappers.
Two calculating options make store owners more flexible where wrapping fee can be the primary or extra portion of profits. For example, in low seasons, merchants may offer a fixed small expense for gift wrapping to stimulate purchasing decisions. Meanwhile, in peak season, stores may consider charging the fee by quantity to boost profits.
