container-fees-on-shop-ordersCharge for jars and containers on shop orders, tooNovember 3, 2026Orders & fulfillmentYour container fee, like a jar fee, now applies to shop orders and add-ons, not just CSA and herdshare signups.It applies automatically to any product that already has a container feeLinda WylieGreen Valley DairyCashmere, WAlinda-wylie
If you sell milk or other products in reusable jars, you may charge a container fee to cover them. Until now, that fee only applied when someone signed up for a CSA share or herdshare. If the same customer bought a jar of milk from your shop, they paid nothing for the jar, and your farm covered the cost.
Now the container fee applies everywhere you sell that product:
- One-time shop orders, whether the customer is signed in or checking out as a guest
- Add-ons members put on an upcoming CSA order
- Orders you create or edit for a customer. Adding, changing or removing items updates the fee automatically, and removed items are credited back.
Customers see the fee next to the price, like “$0.50 Jar set,” on the product page, in the cart and at checkout, so there are no surprises. Container fees don’t count toward your order minimum, and coupons don’t discount them.
On the invoice, the fee shows as its own line under the name you’ve given it, including on add-ons to a member’s CSA order.
There’s nothing new to set up. Any product that already has a container fee now charges it on these orders automatically, including orders you create for customers.
Green Valley Dairy sells its milk in jars and needed the jar fee charged on shop orders, not just on subscriptions.
