A buyer may leave for many reasons, but a late fee makes the decision harder to evaluate. Walk through the exact transaction and note when every mandatory charge first appears. The remedy depends on platform and pricing rules.
Check the real path
- Capture the offer page, cart, and final payment total for the same item or booking.
- Identify mandatory service, delivery, processing, or booking charges and when they become calculable.
- Check whether a representative estimate can appear earlier without implying an inaccurate total.
- Test whether discounts, regional rules, and mobile layouts change the displayed amount.
Decide what to change
Do not hide a fee in small print or promise a universal all-in price if tax or delivery depends on address. Show the formula or an honest estimate as early as practical, then make the final total unambiguous before payment.
Put it in the project brief
Before paying for a fix, ask the provider to name the affected page or workflow, the change they will make, how they will test it, and which dependencies or exclusions could change the estimate. Keep the baseline and the completed test so both sides can see what improved.
