Many merchants rely on "drip pricing" — showing a low headline price then revealing mandatory fees (service, processing, resort, etc.) during checkout. Drip pricing makes the initial click look cheap and then raises the real cost; consumers who only glance at the headline price may be surprised at the end. The antidote: always click through to the final checkout total before deciding, and use browser extensions or price comparison sites that reveal total cost upfront. This question asks which behavior correctly describes drip pricing.
