Percentage of Total Amount or Dollar Value

Hey folks ...

Has anyone come across either a module, or did some changes to be able to have this as a shipping option.

Shipping & Handling: 10% of the subtotal or $10.00 (whichever is greater)?

Many thanks

You can customize the Table Rate to have 10% and add in a test to make it a minimum of $10.00 ...

Hey Ajeh,

Thanks for the reply, but I am not sure what you are meaning. I know how to set within the table rate ... eg: 10:5.00,5%

how would I do what you are suggesting?

Cheers :)

In the Table Rate table shipping module, the final cost is built in:

Code:

    $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
    'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_TEXT_TITLE . $show_box_weight,
    'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,
    'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_TEXT_WAY,
    'cost' => $shipping + (MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_HANDLING_METHOD == 'Box' ? MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_HANDLING * $shipping_num_boxes : MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_HANDLING) ) ));

What you want to do is test if the cost is <= 10 then you need to adjust the cost to be at least 10.00 ...

Hey there .. sorry if I am being difficult, but I have no idea what you are asking. I checked my table.php file in modules>shipping and it has the same code that you pasted ...

As for the <= 10 ... not sure ...

Do you know what formula is needed in the admin section under the Shipping Rate?

This is what I have tried: 1:10.00,2:10% (1=number of products : costing 10.00, or 2=number of products : 10% off)

Any ideas?

You can customize the shipping charge in the Table Rate table shipping module by editing the file:
/includes/modules/shipping/table.php

and changing the code from:

Code:

    $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
    'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_TEXT_TITLE . $show_box_weight,
    'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,
    'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_TEXT_WAY,
    'cost' => $shipping + (MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_HANDLING_METHOD == 'Box' ? MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_HANDLING * $shipping_num_boxes : MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_HANDLING) ) ));

to read:

Code:

// bof: charge minimum of $10.00 shipping
    $chk_shipping_cost = $shipping + (MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_HANDLING_METHOD == 'Box' ? MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_HANDLING * $shipping_num_boxes : MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_HANDLING);
    if ($chk_shipping_cost < 10.00) {
      $chk_shipping_cost = 10.00;
    }
    $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
    'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_TEXT_TITLE . $show_box_weight,
    'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,
    'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_TEXT_WAY,
    'cost' =>  $chk_shipping_cost) ));
// eof: charge minimum of $10.00 shipping

Actually, one last question if I could. Is there a way to use this function, but to have it work for all of Canada and the US, but for Alaska and Hawaii be $12.00 or 12% or subtotal?

Cheers
