I own a Truck Parts Store..... listed above, as some of you know when you purchase some parts.. there is what is called a Core Charge.  This is a charge you are charged then refunded once you return your old part.  As you can see in my attachment the only way we have been able to set this up is as a custom field.  But it has raised a lot of questions from shoppers..     Would love to be able to make the core a product, have it that it is mandatory.. and then it will be broken down.. then when we refund.. we can remove that product from their invoice.. 

I have been looking for this answer for the past couple months and just can't find it.. I'm assuming it can't be done being the reason I can't find an answer.  If not.. anyone know of a plug in that could do this for us.

And yes.. I do plan on updating when I can commit a few days incase I have issues.

Thank You

Rod

It is not very clear why the custom field is not convinient. Can you describe better your requirements?

Hi, in some shops they have free gift with some products. I dont use this but i think a modification in language to say standard returns charge. Or call it a tax flat tax .on parts. You can add that tax to certain products or all.
It will appear with different wording but then you can hide the tax at the end or only to appear in the cart.
  Yep. Id use a tax set up.
