With packaging costs, I mean the costs for cartons(boxes), paper etc..")* I have specified a shipping price, it's the price I have to pay by DHL,UPS and so on. I want to have additionally a price for packaging materials (cartons/boxes, paper etc.) and this costs have to be displayed as "Packaging Costs" at the order overview in checkout, Order creation email and Invoice. Like this: --- Subtotal: x.xx,- € Shipping Costs y.yy,- € Packaging Costs: z.zz,- € VAT: v.vv,-€ --- Total: tt.tt,- € I hope it's more clear now.

With packaging costs, I mean the costs for cartons(boxes), paper etc..")* I explained a little bit misunderstanding. The Packaging costs should not per product. We want to add a flat packaging fee for the whole shipment. ....and I don't have development skills. My skills are enough for modify some "easy" existing code but not for more.

There is no option in HikaShop for now to display such handling cost separately unless you create a small plugin to handle that.
