Adding general handling fee in Dynamicweb eCommerce

I had the challange resently to add a default handling fee to a eCommerce soloution implemented using Dynamicweb eCommerce. After struggling a while with it I found a soloution. I created a negative sales discount on the amount which every customer would have to pay if the total amount was no more than a given amount.

So you simply create a discount - a "Total Sales Price Discount" on a given NEGATIVE amount of money. You also define a rule which takes care of the limit given in your case, say: "The customer should spend more than 1000€, before the handling fee will be zero".

It is perhaps not a very logical way - but it works! :-)
