Adding $1.00 for each aditional item?

Is there a way I can add $1.00 to each aditional item they put in their cart?
1 item costs $10.00 to ship but 2 items only costs $11.00 to ship. If I put the weight in the system that they are supposed to be when they add that second item its going to raise the shipping way more then it needs to be.

Use Item Rate item shipping module ...

Set the Handling to 9.00 and the Item Rate to 1.00 ... :smile:

Can this method also be used just for two categories while leaving my other categories to use the perweight unit module?

And what happens when there are multiple Products from the two Categories and from other Categories in the same cart? :unsure:

Hi Linda

I don't know, would it work? My shipping depends on each supplier so for example the two categories that I'd like to make this work for are gowns and each gown on its own costs $48.75 to ship BUT if a bride purchases her gown and her maid of honor's gown then the shipping should be less than $48.75 for each since they are being shipped to the same address. The other products that we have such as wedding favors or shoes or jewelry would have to stay on a perweightunit basis as that is what works based on what I'm being charged by each of the other suppliers.

Is there a way to do this?

I thought I did a solution for you on this a couple three weeks ago ... :unsure:

We never figured it out, i think you had said that i would have to get somebody to write the code for me but when i saw this thread i thought that this may be a way around my problem.

Our family has been in the process of a major relocation over the last month so this is actually the first time I've had to sit down and get back to working out the wrinkles on our site.

I'd much rather be trying to figure this out than unpack the hundred and fifty boxes we have sitting here staring at me!

Anyways, if I can make this work I will be able to check off one thing on my big list of to-dos for this site. If not, then it will get sorted out eventually.

Thanks Linda, nice to hear from you again

You really need a formula worked out for your products to calculate the shipping for the gowns, where multiple gowns have a scaled discount and then shipping for other products based on the Per Unit perweightunit that uses the products_weight ...

You have Products in multiple categories for the gowns ... and then these 2 categories of products that have their own rate ...

If you calculated how many products are from these 2 categories and subtracted those from the number of items in the cart, you would know how many gowns are in the cart ...

Now, you can calculate a charge for the number of gowns in the cart ...

Let's assume anything not a gown uses the products_weight * quantity ordered to calculate the shipping ...

Now for the gowns ...

So first, what is the gown formula? Let's look at how much shipping is for the gowns from 1 to 5 ...

1 gown
2 gown
3 gown
4 gown
5 gowns

Is there just 1 formula?

Something like

(Gown Quantity * 20) - 20 if there is more than 1 gown or ...

(Gown Quantity * 20) - ((Gown quantity - 1) * 10%)

Or ... something different?

Hi Linda

What we would like to do is actually very simple. We would like to just charge $25 for each additional gown regardless of how many are ordered.
Like this
gown 1- $48.75
gown 2- $25.00
gown 3- $25.00
gown 4- $25.00
and so on.

Currently I have adjusted the weight on the gowns to calculate the shipping at $48.75

Set all gowns to 0 on products_weight ...

Add to the quote in Per Unit perweightunit shipping module:

Code:

---

// check products with products_weight 0
  global $cart;
  $chk_gowns = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_weight','0');
  $chk_gown1 = 48.75;
  $chk_gown2 = 25.00;
  if ($chk_gowns > 1) {
    $chk_gowns_shipping = $chk_gown1 + (($chk_gowns - 1) * $chk_gown2);
  } else {
    if ($chk_gowns == 1) {
      $chk_gowns_shipping = $chk_gown1;
    } else {
      $chk_gowns_shipping = 0;
    }
  }

---

The add to the cost the:
$chk_gowns_shipping to cost
