Optional Shipping Insurance Module [Support Thread]

I like this idea, but want an optional fixed cost, no percentage, not related to weights/item quantity.
When I set this to true, it adds the 75p without any options to delete it, theres no tick box panel?

Changed the text so using the words 'UK Recorded Delivery' all I want is to have a 75p optional cost, and have set it as follows;

'Use Table rates' Not really but opted yes as it gives £0.00 otherwise in totals and no tick box for customer?
'Alternate Insurance Type' have used 'amount'
'Insurance Percentage' Dont want percentage so left blank
'Insurance Rate' Dont understand so left blank shows £0.00GBP
'Increment Amount' Dont understand left blank shows £0.00GBP
'Amount Exempt From Fee' Not required left blank shows £0.00GBP
'Required Insurance Amount' not required left blank shows £0.00GBP
Insurance Zone 1
'UK Only' (As set in my Zones bit under Admin prior to this installation)
Zone 1 Insurance Table
100:0.75

All the forum talk seems to be about US postage like Fedex and UPS? Any Brits here? What am I missing out.

PS this is using the latest version 3.2.0 and my Zones were all set and in use BEFORE this.

Adding to what I said above, looking at the other forum on this module I found others were querying the 'not optional' bit too.

Doesnt seem to be many answers to really clarify the answer.
Anyone worked it out, (and its not a zone related problem)

In the order total modules menu in the admin.
Just do not set a required amount and it will always be optional.

My mistake then. Instead, set the required amount to something absurdly high. It appears that setting it to 0 means that insurance is always required.

Did that solve your problem?

No. I'm never given the choice to add insurance.

Finally SOLVED the issue of the option tick box missing.

Just making all the boxes at zero but for;
Required Insurance Amount
£99,999,999.00GBP

Using just Zone 1 for Recorded and Special.
International ROW Signed For;
Zone 1 for MY set countries as Europe,
Zone 2 for US/Canada,
Zone 3 for MY set ROW countries.

Each of these are a duplicate of the same ot_insurance file/s
They now work just as I want. Just one flaw, UK buyers can opt tick BOTH Recorded and Special, but can always be refunded!

Optional UK Recorded Delivery Signed For Service ot_insurance Optional UK Special Delivery ot_insuranceSD Optional International Signed For ot_insuranceROW

So after a little frustration, you wipe out all the settings defaulted to when you first edit the ot_insurance option for fixed fees like those above.

I am afraid I am lost. I am having the same problem as one of the folks who posted earlier.

I have installed this mod but there is no option for it in any of my checkout processes. When is it supposed to show up?

Also, if I am using USPS rates using webtools, how should my settings be set?

In the shipping insurance mod I currently have them set as listed here:

Thank you in advance for helping me figure this out.

My first look at your settings is surely you need to set a zone here or its not able to work with anything!

Check what you have set in your zones, and if you sell overseas you need more than one zone.

By the way Ive found a glitch, 4-5 times I tried to use QUOTE and reply, and it kept saying no permission please login, did that, and I could reply but not use quote?

That is where some of my confusion lies. When I went to zones, there were absolutely none set up. I set up Washington state, which is where i live, but I have no idea how to set up all those zones.

Plus, I am awaiting an email from usps (webmaster tools) to tell me I have been moved to the production server.

So, another question is, if I am going to exclusively use the USPS production server, do I even need to set up zones?

If I do need to set up zones, is there a module that has all of the zones? a website that lists them? ?? how do I get zone information??

thanks for your help :)

Ok, I have been futzing around all night. I found out how to define zones. So, once that was done, I added "All Countries" in both zone 1 and zone 2. The insurance option still does not show up anywhere on checkout. what am I doing wrong?

As Im in the UK, US zones may be different, & cant help with UPS, but my Zones are; UK only, Europe, & ROW picking only the actual countries I want to ship to within those. Therefore I would have three zones set up, whereas you have onkly duplicated zone 2 the same as zone 1 so whats that point.

With a required (must have) insurance set at $100 anything above cannot opt out, beneath its using your 5% / $0.50 rate as youve set exempt fee as zero so ALL sales are a must for insurance, so there wont be an option, its an obligation.
If insurance is optional under $100 then is it not $100 in that
Amount Exempt From Fee box & not $0.00 ? as it seems to me its trying to insist all sales have insurance.

Yes, I suppose I am not getting this at all. Don't understand how to set up zones properly, so will look through and see what else I can find.

thank you for your assistance,

For me I found the FAQs on setting up zones was most helpful.. Once you get your zones correctly setup, getting this module configured will be LOADS easier..
