About Payment Gateway Based Fees and Discount…
From the official readme · v3.3.0Description
Payment Gateway-Based Fees and Discounts for WooCommerce lets you automatically add a fixed amount or percentage-based fee or offer a discount based on the payment method your customer selects during checkout. It works with WooCommerce’s built-in payment gateways, such as Cash on Delivery, Direct Bank Transfer (BACS), and third-party payment gateways such as PayPal, added by other WooCommerce extensions.
Key Features
Charge Extra or Offer Discounts Based on Payment Method
Different payment methods come with different costs. This plugin lets you automatically add an extra fee or offer a discount based on the payment option your customer selects during checkout.

Every store has different pricing needs, so the plugin gives you flexibility without making setup complicated.
You can:
* Charge a fixed amount or a percentage of the order total.

* Set minimum and maximum fee or discount values.
* Apply fees only when the cart total falls within a specific range.
