Is it possible to enable a shipping method for only a certain customer group?

That was loads of fun ...

Thanks for the update that this is woking for you ...

I truly appreciate your patience and brilliance, Linda!

Do you mind if I sum this coupon part up and put this into a new thread to help others along?

Cheers,

Me again . Can I confirm with you that this code is okay to put into includes\modules\payment\cod.php to allow only certain customers the option to pay upon pickup? I've tested it and it seems fine, just looking for some expert eyes so as to avoid any potential problems...

'zone_id']) {
            $check_flag = true;
            break;
          }
          $check->MoveNext();
        }

        if ($check_flag == false) {
          $this->enabled = false;
        }
      }

[COLOR="Red"]      $chk_group = $db->Execute("select customers_group_pricing from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " where customers_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['customer_id'] . "'");
    if ($chk_group->fields['customers_group_pricing'] == 2 || $chk_group->fields['customers_group_pricing'] == 3) {
      $this->enabled = true;
    } else {
      $this->enabled = false;
    }[/COLOR]
      
// disable the module if the order only contains virtual products
      if ($this->enabled == true) {
        if ($order->content_type != 'physical') {
          $this->enabled = false;
        }

It appears correct, as long as you have tested that this is working correctly and only showing for Group 2 and 3 and nobody else, then is should be fine ...

I am also interested in only showing a particular shipping module/option when a customer is from a certain pricing group. I am not very good at coding. I have three customer groups. I call them retail, wholesale, and distributor. I want the third group to see only one particular module (staticlist)--a shipping mod I've installed.

Any help in getting this done would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

PS. I'm using 1.3.8a (might upgrade soonish when I have time)

If that shipping module is like the others, you should have a setting for the $this->enabled ...

For example, on the Flat Rate flat shipping module in:
/includes/modules/shipping/flat.php

you could customize it so that it only shows for those in Group ID 3 by adding the new code in red:

      // disable only when entire cart is free shipping
      if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) {
        $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
      }

      // disable when Group ID is not 3
      $chk_group = $db->Execute("select customers_group_pricing from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " where customers_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['customer_id'] . "'");
      if ($chk_group->fields['customers_group_pricing'] != 3)  {
        $this->enabled = false;
      }

:-) Thank you! The coding works great! One more question: This mod allows me to have customizable multiple choices for shipping, with a different rate for each one. Right now I can only make it a fixed amount. Any way to make it a percentage of the order total? Or do I need to ask the mod creator?

I don't know anything about the shipping module you are using so probably addressing it to the developer of it would help you best ...
