Delivery fees must be calculated using a methodology determined before a user selects a retail establishment and cannot change during the order process. The calculation of delivery fees must be based on the total price of items from the retail establishment (excluding taxes and platform fees) and delivery distance. Factors that rely on user characteristics like price sensitivity or purchasing behavior are prohibited in fee calculations. Platforms must prominently display the retail price of items and any applicable delivery fees. The ongoing total amount to be charged, including item costs, taxes, and fees, must be displayed throughout the ordering process. Before requesting payment, platforms must provide a clear explanation of each delivery fee, including the amount, related item, refundability, and other information specified by the Commission. The section does not prevent platforms from allowing users to add gratuities to their orders.

State Attorneys General can bring civil actions on behalf of residents if they believe state interests are threatened by violations of the Act. Before filing a civil action, State Attorneys General must provide written notice and a copy of the complaint to the FTC. The FTC has the right to intervene in actions brought by State Attorneys General. State Attorneys General retain their existing powers to conduct investigations and compel evidence. If the FTC initiates an action, States cannot bring a separate action against the same defendant for the same violation during the FTC action's pendency. Actions brought under this section can be filed in either federal or state court.
