Under the Additional Charges setting, you will select a numerical value. For instance, let’s go with 5.

Next, the Charges Type option lets you choose whether you wish to charge based on a Fixed rate or based on Percentage. If you go with the Fixed option, then the customer will be charged an additional $5 at the Checkout Page. If you choose the Percentage option, and your numerical value is 5, then 5% of additional charges will be counted based on the total order amount. You can go with the option that fits your business better.
