  5. Enter in the fee for the item in question.

  6. Click 'Apply Changes'

  1. Repeat for all applicable options.

    Once the price is updated you need to go back, and publish the menu.

Configuring the charge correctly

In order to ensure you are displaying the correct fees, and charging the correct amounts, please ensure that every applicable menu item and option set item has the correct deposit fee reflected.

For example, imagine you sell "Coca Cola" in two sizes, 330ml and 500ml. The base price for the 330ml item is €2.00, and the base price for the 500ml item is €2.20.

In order to ensure you're capturing the correct fees, the item should be configured as follows:

  • Coca Cola Original with base price of €2.00, and no DRS fee. Item is configured such that users must choose one of the option set items.

    • 0.33L option, with base price of €0.00plus DRS fee of €0.15

    • 0.5L option, with base price of €0.20 plus DRS fee of €0.25
