There are times that you might want to create a line item that is easily applied to any order.
For example, if you live in a state in which you are required to charge an Environmental Fee. For this use case, an admin for your organization would define a Fee that can be applied to any order.
Creating the Fee
Admins can navigate to the admin page, and click the `Fees` subpage to create new fees, and edit existing ones.
Note: Only Admins are able to create default fees
Creating a fee requires:
Name - this shows up on all billing screens and documents, including receipts and invoices. Ledger Account - The ledger account that this fee is transferred into. This can help your accounting team. A good default is "Fees Total".
Fee Amount - You can define how the fee gets calculated here. It is either a flat amount (e.g. $50), a percent of a portion of the order (e.g. 2% of Rental Assets) or a combination of both.
Minimum - A minimum amount for the fee. For example, if the minimum is $20, the items being rented add up to $100, and the fee is 4% of the rental assets, the fee will be $20.
Default - whether the fee is automatically added to new orders (it can be removed later)
Is Refundable - If you define a fee that is not refundable, when a reservation is cancelled the line item will still be owed by the customer, while the rest can be refunded.
Tax Exempt - whether the fee should also be subject to taxes or not.
