CTL || Seel Worry-Free Purchase fee exceeds 4% threshold on multi-item carts
complete
Shiva Pal
What is the shop or customer experiencing:
- The Seel Worry-Free Purchase protection fee is calculating significantly higher than the expected rate when multiple items are added to the cart. Per Help Center documentation, the fee should range between 2% and 4% of the subtotal. However, customer Catherine Bowlus Hedgepeth added two items totaling $120 and was charged an $8.22 fee (approx. 6.85%), exceeding the maximum 4% threshold.
What is the expected behavior:
- The Seel Worry-Free Purchase fee should calculate strictly within the documented 2%–4% range of the total cart value. For a $120 cart, the fee should be between $2.40 (2%) and $4.80 (4%), rather than $8.22.
What error messages are there:
- No error code is displayed; the system miscalculates the fee percentage and applies the inflated rate at checkout.
- Did you replicate: Unable to replicate
What settings were checked:
- App environment versioning.
- Cart subtotal scaling vs. Seel fee percentage calculation.
- Help Center documentation for Seel Worry-Free Purchase fee thresholds (2%–4%).
