The module would need to be heavily modified to have separate table rates for each shipping method, but it is possible.
I need help.
I have installed the Module but it didnt have anything for "ADMIN" folders. Do I only set them up in the regular Includes and Modules folders??
Having said that.. it doesnt show up any insurance box or info or anything on my checkout page.
HELP!
Thanks so so so much!
Jen:smile:
the module is great.
if a customer selects the option to insure his shipping on the order confirmation page it comes up as shipping insurance: $1.70
however, if the customer did not select to insure his shipping it comes up on the order confirmation page as shipping insurance: $0.00.
i would rather it be blank.
otherwise a customer who overlooked the option to select shipping insurance and sees on his confirmation page shipping insurance: $0.00 - he will think that he is getting the service for free.
all other modules that i installed (e.g. gift wrap, etc) they only show up on the order confirmation page if the option is selected.
I have the mod installed and it shows up in step 2, but does not calculate in step 3.
Here are my settings - any help would be greatly appreciated.

not sure if this will help, but did you run the int'l sql? the module wasn't calculating for me and I had the same error until I ran the int'l sql patch, uninstalled it in admin, then reinstalled it - now it works great.
Removing and reinstalling did the trick - thanks!
Question?
Have just installed the mod, very simple and easy, great stuff - just one thing not sure about if you can clarify for me.
Do I need to install the SQL patch if only using USA in zone 1 and not using insurance for any international zones?
Please advise.
Best regards
P.S. Thanks Sage, and everyone for this, great mod and great work.
it wouldn't calculate for me until I ran the sql patch, uninstalled and reinstalled. we only use it for the US.Quote:

Awesome reply, loaded up sql, uninstalled module in total payment in admin, then reinstalled - chose USA for zone and modified table rates accordingly - saw the difference straight away after installing SQL patch then uninstalling and reinstalling mod in the admin panel.
I see what you mean, does make a difference.
Awesome reply, thanks erinn.
:hug:
Everything seems to be working okay, will let you know if come across any probs . . .
can someone copy/paste me the default UPS table rates for the insurance?
thanks
I want the optional insurance dialogue box to display by default on the page for selecting insurance.
When insurance is automatically added to an order, I want the dialogue box to display a statement that an amount of shipping insurance has been automatically added to the customer's order.
I also want to switch the position of the checkbox and insurance amount, so that the checkbox is to the left of the insurance amount.
If these things are possible, can someone please advise upon how to do same.
TIA
Further to my post above, I would also like separate base and incremental rates to be provided for national and international shipping.
At the moment, there is only one base and incremental rate, which is used for both national and international shipping, and which kicks in after the table rates are exceeded.
TIA
I have got the module working I think but noticed that the rate it quoted was far less than USPS.
I checked to see that the rates have actually increased since the module (Version 3.16) came out, so I changed them:
50:1.70,100:2.15,200:2.60,300:4.60,400:5.55,500:6.50,600:7.45
The only problem I see is that there is no calculation for the 'Greater than 600' which the USPS calculates as:
7.70 + 1.00 per 100.00 over 600.00
How can I include that in the rate table?
Great work on the module by the way; very easy to configure.
Thanks,
Morris
The support thread that came with the download:Quote:

says that it should handle it this way:
"With the release of v3.13, when an order is more than the maximum rate returned by the table rate, then the script starts to use the increment rate for the amount above the maximum returned rate.
For example, if in the configuration you have:
Insurance Rate: $0.50
Incrememt Amount: $100
Table Rate: 100:2,200:3,300:3.5
Then, if a customer addes $400 to their cart, the script will return $4.00 ($3.50 + $0.50). If the customer adds $401 or more, then the script would return $4.50."
Unfortunately, when I tried to set it up this way, I got a shipping insurance value of 0.00 for any orders over the maximum in the table.
Since we wholesale products and have large orders of all different amounts, I too would like to figure out how to make the table increment for values over the maximum.
Also, is there any way to eliminate the shipping insurance from certain methods (like it does for the store/walkin option)? I also want to exclude it from fedex ground and fedex express, so that shipping only appears as an option with USPS.
Thanks,
Melissa
I'm still trying to figure out how to exclude the optional insurance from fedex, so that it will only be available for USPS.
In includes/modules/order_total/ot_insurance.php, I believe this phrase excludes the insurance for in store pickup:
if ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'storepickup_storepickup') {
class ot_insurance extends base{
function process() {
}
}
} else {
But if I try changing the first line to:
if ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'fedexexpress_fedexexpress') {
nothing seems to happen. The insurance still shows up for fedexexpress. Is there a different name I should use for fedexexpress? Where can I find this info to plug in there?
Once I can get it to work for fedexexpress, would the logic to exclude insurance for both store pickup and fedex look like this?:
if ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'storepickup_storepickup' || $_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'fedexexpress_fedexexpress') {
Thanks! I'm still new to php, so it's a bit trial and error.
Melissa
Just one quick question... I got it to work (yeah)! But I'd like to modify the way the box looks on the checkout page. Can the insurance dollar amount be moved up next to the words asking the customer if they would like to add it?
It would be great if you shared how you got it to work :clap:Quote:

It is looking at the sub-total and not the price after the discount.
I have played around with the sort order but with no luck. Like I said it is not a big deal but was just wandering if anyone had a solution for this.
I am using version 1.3.8a and I believe version 3.13 for the insurance add on.
Thanks in advance :smile:
finally got mine working,
You must set one zone in order for this to work, even if you are not using the table
:clap:
would love to see if you got this working, melissa!

Any ideas? I can't get into the insurance mod because it won't fully load my list of modules now.
OK and now the fatal error is gone. What the heck? I didn't do anything lol
Setting one zone did indeed make the module show up in Step 2 of the checkout. Thank you for sharing the info! :clap:Quote:

FYI, your zones need to be defined before installing this module. If a zone is added after you install and configure ithe mod, you must uninstall and reinstall this module. Also you CANNOT create a zone called "Worldwide" with all countries and all zones.. It WILL NOT work with this add-on.. (unless there is something I am missing) So for US stores you must create a US zone. I believe the SQL included with this add-on will create an International Zone.
Sure wish I had known all of this before.. This is probably why I never got any version past 3.10 to work..:blush:
v3.2.0 states this more clearly from the module admin.Quote:

All's well now, and I've made a note for myself for future reference..Quote:

I searched "optional insurance" on the Numinix website and found this:Quote:

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.
Postby numinix on Sun Nov 16, 2008 2:15 am
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.
Postby numinix on Sun Nov 16, 2008 5:17 pm
Did that solve your problem?
Postby DrWhoToo on Sun Nov 16, 2008 5:53 pm
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:

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

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 :)
K
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.

I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I am trying to install this so it gives the option to add an extra $2.30 to the order if they would like insurance. I don't ever want it to be required.

Please, can someone help? Where is the support for this mod?
I have searched all day for answers, maybe someone can help. I am looking to restrict First Class International Mail and Priority International Mail by the price of the transaction.
I want to set these restrictions: If a customer is spending $100 or less First Class International Mail (lessen the $ risk on non-tracking packages) can be used, over $100 it cannot. Likewise, Priority International Mail is available for orders under $400, but not for over $400. USPS doesn't not allow Priority International Mail to have declared values over $400. This would mean an international customer would have to use Express International Mail for orders over $400.
It seems someone would have had this answered somewhere or posted something close but I have found nothing. I have received orders for items totaling over $400 and had to upgrade the shipping to Express at my cost so I could document the customs documents properly. If I would have sent the items Priority International Mail I would have had to max out the package contents at the $400 limited cap.
Anybody using this mod with Paypal Express Checkout?
All my orders that include optional insurance and pay with Paypal Express drop their item descriptions (Product Name and Product Model) in paypal receipt emails, and transaction histories. PPE sees the insurance fee as a credit and does not submit the line items to paypal. Only the Total amount is carried over to paypal.
I thought this was a Paypal Express bug, so I started this thread in the paypal express forum
Thanks to Dr. Byte I was able to quickly find out this issue is due to this mod.
I was using the older version 3.13 from 5/2008 so I downloaded and installed the newest version of Optional insurance 3.2.0, today and tweaked all the settings but still see this issue.
Is it just my cart? or does everyone have this issue?
Did this get resolved? I wasn't getting this error message, but I am now. Not sure what to do.

No tricks needed here...it just continued to work. Hard to speculate on what your problem is given the limited information, but...I'd venture it's not 1.3.9b.
Not sure what more information I need give you that would help determine why it doesn't work...... I did a new install of 3.9b in a new folder, imported the database from 3.8x, updated the database, installed the FedEx shipping module and the Shipping insurance module. The FedEx module works after removing it / reinstalling as suggested by someone else but the shipping insurance module doesn't work after repeated remove / install / upload files / remove install processes.Quote:

Does it show up in Modules->Order Totals? Do you have it enabled there? Did you set up your zones?
I didn't have zones set up in the shipping insurance module in 3.8x (There was no option listed in that version for zones) and it worked fine, so I left it that way in 3.9b.Quote:

Thanks
FYI, there are two blank data entry boxes at the bottom of the shipping insurance module options menu that have no descriptive text near them. Any ideas what might be causing that? (After Zone 1 Insurance Table)
I can't speak to 1.3.8 and Shipping Insurance, but on my site, I needed to create a few zone definitions (as distinct from zones) and put them into my configuration of the insurance module, along with the rates for those particular zones. (Perhaps you can make do with only one zone definition; I needed one for the USA, another for Canada, and a third for all other countries I'm willing to ship to.) I don't think the module will work without these being defined.
Where are the instructions to install this module? I've uploaded ot_insurance to the appropriate folder but I don't see it in the admin console to install it. Also, when I tried to run the sql patch that came with it for zone information, I got an error saying that a primary key violation had occurred and the information could not be loaded.
If someone could please point me in the right direction that would be great.
I've installed plenty of zen cart ad-ons, but this one didn't come with instructions.
Did you look on numinix' support thread?
http://www.numinix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23
I think there's some information there on installation.
I too struggled with this module. You'll see some of my posts towards the end of that thread on the numinix site.
I'm not sure this will solve it, but when you ran the SQL patch, did you upload the file, or cut its contents and paste them into the window in your admin area? The latter approach seems to work better with some SQL patches (may be a file type issue or something).
Thanks I will check it out. I managed to install the file to the proper locations in languages and modules.
I tried to copy and paste the code after the uploading didn't work and got the same error message:
1062 Duplicate entry '20' for key 'PRIMARY'
in:
[INSERT INTO geo_zones (geo_zone_id, geo_zone_name, geo_zone_description, last_modified, date_added) VALUES (20, 'International', 'All Countries/Zones', NULL, '2007-12-30 20:26:59');]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.
Hmm...well, what I know about SQL could fit into a thimble with plenty of room for a finger, but it sounds like the installation already "took," at least partly. Did you get this error message the first time you tried the patch? You might try dropping the table and running the patch again. (Proceed with caution.)
Easy there. :blink:
I have all my tax rates set up in those tables. I don't want to wipe them out. I think it's just coincidence but Iowa has the geo_zone_id of 20, that's why the insert fails.
Do you know if the reference to 20 in the sql patch can be changed to a different number (one that is not yet in use in my zone and tax rate tables?
If I can simply change the value to 200, let's say, then I could insert the values without any issue. I just don't know if 20 is referenced somewhere in the code for the insurance module.
Oops. Never mind then.Quote:

How many records do you have in geo_zones, anyway?
Here is how I got it to work, not sure on the order of creation...sorry
Make a new Zone called Shipping Insurance Zone
Make a new tax class called Shipping Insurance
Create a new tax rate for Shipping Insurance tax class with 0% as the tax rate.
Set up the Shipping Insurance Module the way you want it ( I only tried this with a percentage rate, didn't try tables)
--- I don't know if all of these steps are needed but after doing all the above the insurance fee shows up at the final checkout step right above the sub total line.
It would be nice if it was also visible on the shipping selection page so they aren't surprised to find an additional shipping fee after chosing their desired shipping method but I will take what I can get. I am tired of having the total shipping fees charged on high dollar items way off because the shipping module doesn't calculate the insurance fee correctly. NONE of the shipping modules ever got close to what I was being charged by my shippers. This has solved the problem.
Thanks!
One step that I forgot but that is required, on the Shipping Insurance Zone you created you must click on the "details" button then install all the country and all the zones for it to work.
Also you must select them in the free shipper configuration under Tax Class. Do not select anything in the Shipping Zone for it to work.
Thanks LRS, you saved me a lot of time
Hi
I've just installed this mod, and it's working fine, but I have one problem...
When a customer goes through checkout with the insurance included on their order, and then applies a discount coupon, the percentage is deducted from the insurance as well as from the order sub-total.
Does anyone have a way to prevent this?
Thanks,
Tija

I had set the Required Insurance Amount to astronomical to see if that allowed the shopper to select it as an option. I've also tried setting that to zero.
We're using the USPS mod. How do I set this up so that it works?
Thanks,
Christy
You must define a zone for this module to work.Quote:

There seems to be a newer version on the Numinix site, but it still says for 1.3.8.
I don't seem to be able to get onto the Numinix forum to ask there.
Thank you
Hi
I've recently installed and cloned this mod, using one for shipping insurance -- the other I have been trying to configure to use as express shipping.
The only problem I have is that I need the extra charge for express shipping based on weight, rather than order total. (i.e. 500g add $3, 1kg add $5, not $50 add $3, etc.)
Does anyone know how the coding of this mod can be changed to do this?
Any help would be much appreciated :)
Thanks,
Tija
Hi
Nice mod, but I have a wee problem which I need to sort out. Any help appreciated
I have a local sales tax that I need to apply to shipping insurance. Currently this mod shows the tax inclusive amount in the Order Confirmation screen. This is ok when shipping outside of my stores zone, but local regulations state that I must clearly show the amount of local sales tax being charged. In my case I see:
Sub-Total: $100.00
Flat Rate shipping: $7.50
Shipping Insurance: $11.50
Sales Tax @15%: $16.12
TOTAL : $135.12
So the Sales tax is not showing the $1.50 of sales tax included in the shipping insurance.
For "in-zone" orders I really need to see:
Sub-Total: $100.00
Flat Rate shipping: $7.50
Shipping Insurance: $10.00
Sales Tax @15%: $17.62
TOTAL : $135.12
For "out-of-zone" or international orders I dont need to charge sales tax on the goods, but I am still charged sales tax on the shipping and insurance. Really need to see
Sub-Total: $100.00
Flat Rate shipping: $11.50
Shipping Insurance: $11.50
TOTAL : $131.50
Note that in this case the shipping amount goes up.
Er um... help please :)
Why do you need to charge sales tax on shipping insurance? Do you make a profit on it? Normally you don't charge sales tax on shipping or shipping insurance unless you are making a profit on that.
I also have a question. Does anyone have GoogleCheckout installed? If so, how does that work with this mod? Is the shipping insurance cost passed on to GoogleCheckout just fine?
Thanks.
Hi,
Anyone been able to get optional insurance working for any country apart from the one the store is in? When delivering locally insurance is not available with my provider, however when delivering internationally it is.
:blink:

When I pay for my test order in full with a gift certificate, the shipping insurance is not deducted from the gift certificate amount, and a balance for the insurance is ending up showing owed in the total.
Example: Subtotal is 14.95. No Sales Tax. Shipping Insurance is 1.40. I have a gift certificate balance of 25.00. In the Gift Certificate area of the check out, I apply 16.35 of my Gift Certificate Account balance to the order. I click "Continue Checkout". The OT balance on the next page should be zero, but it's 1.40 - the amount of the shipping insurance.
I'm having this same issue with Priority Handling Fee - but that's another mod that unfortunately doesn't seem to have a support thread.
For whatever reason, the fees from neither of these mods can be paid for with a Gift Certificate, and coupons deduct from them separately from the OT.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
I'm not looking at this at all because I'm working overtime from another PC, but I wonder if perhaps changing the sort order of the order total modules will resolve this.. In other words I wonder if moving the shipping insurance's sort order above the gift certificate's sort order that it will apply the gift certificate to the shipping insurance.. (I think this is what I understand it is you want to have happen)

Thanks again for your help :smile:
Someone please let me know if with this mod the insurance charge is listed as separate charge or is it added to shipping and handling.
Thanks.
Hi tj,
Shipping, Shipping Insurance, and Priority Order Handling are all listed separately. Now that I have all my OT Mod in the correct sort order, they show in this order:
$84.92
Sub-Total:
-$21.23
Discount Coupon: Welcome Coupon:
$25.00
Priority Handling:
$5.99
Illinois Sales Tax = 6.75%:
$1.56
United States Postal Service (First-Class Mail (2 - 5 days)):
$2.15
Shipping Insurance:
-$98.39
Gift Certificates Applied:
$0.00
Total:
I'm using this mod, version 3.13 with ZC 139h. It is working perfectly now that I have the sort orders for my order total mods set up correctly. If there are any gotcha's, I haven't seen them yet.Quote:

I misspoke in my previous post. The change log outlining the differences between the versions is not in the ReadMe included in the download. It's actually on the download page for v3.2.0. Unfortunately, the changelog stops at v3.1.6, so there's no way to know what the improvements/fixes are for 3.2.0.
But, here's the link to the download and the changelog if you want it.
Bravo girl!!!!!!:clap:

Hi Numinix,
I'm using this mod, version 3.13 with ZC 139h.
Went to USPS yesterday to get updated insurance rates in order to update the data in admin for this mod. I noticed that they have insurance rates for standard domestic shipping, as well as express domestic shipping, shipping to Canada from the US and other international shipping. (I'm using rate tables)
I understand that in order to make the mod calc the correct insurance rate for Canada and international, I need to set up zones and connect the appropriate rates to their corresponding zones. I've taken care of that already.
But what I don't understand is this....the customer can choose various methods of standard domestic shipping (first class, parcel post, etc.) for which there is one insurance cost of X amount.
Or, they can choose priority domestic shipping for which the insurance costs X amount.
How do I get the mod to apply the correct insurance rate when there's no place to enter the differing rates in the admin? I'm thinking the use of zones wouldn't work in this instance (like it works for Canadian and International shipping)....because zones are zip code driven, are they not?
Therefore, setting up a new zone with the rate for priority domestic vs. standard domestic wouldn't help the mod select the correct insurance rate because I'd basically have two different sets of rates for the same zone.
Can you please advise?
Numinix replied via email that the solution to the above question is to clone the mod. Wanted to put that out there for anyone else that might be having the same issue and is looking for a resolution.
So i just installed the optional insurance mod on my zen cart 139h and it wont display the option to get insurance during the checkout, WTH,
Enable Insurance Module
Do you want to enable this module? To fully turn this off, both this option and the one below should be set to false.
true
Sort Order
299
Use Table Rates?
Do you want to use Table Rates?
true
Alternate Insurance Type
If not using USPS rates, would you like to charge by percentage of cart total, or by a specific amount?
3.5 percent
Insurance Percentage
If using percent, what percentage of subtotal to charge for insurance.
.50
Insurance Rate
What amount do you want to charge per increment amount.
.50
Increment Amount
For each how many dollars, ie. the increment amount, of the total(e.g. 100 here and .50 for the rate above would mean 50 cents fee for every 100 of the amount to be insured).
100
Amount Exempt From Fee
(Works with INCREMENT and TABLE RATE amounts) Set this to the part of the total that is exempt from the Shipping Insurance. (ie. set to 100 for all orders under 100 to be exempt, already insured, etc.)
100
Tax Class
Use the following tax class on the insurance fee.
Taxable Goods
No Insurance Fee on Virtual Products
Do not charge insurance fee when cart is Virtual Products Only
true
No Insurance Fee on Gift Vouchers
Do not charge insurance fee when cart is Gift Vouchers only
true
No Insurance Fee on Free Shipping
Do not calculate insurance for products that have free shipping (includes gv and virtual products)
true
Required Insurance Amount
Automatically charge shipping insurance for amounts over X dollars
10000
Thank You LRS, this worked for me. I spent over an hour tring to figure this our using the mod instructions and It only took 5 min using yours!!!:clap::clap::clap:Quote:

from false to true, but I still see the shipping insurance being charged despite this setting. Shipping insurance shouldn't appear at all, or at least give a $0 amount. Free shipping is being calculated by the Free Shipping Options module and we're using the USPS module for shipping charges.
Any idea why this is not working?
Thanks!
Does anyone know how I could run a check for what shipping option the customer has selected and possibly make this module not show up???
i.e. If a customer selects UPS shipping the optional insurance mod does not show.
We've been having a lot of customers add on optional USPS insurance to UPS orders. We've even modified the titles to try and help clarify this but I don't think people bother to read it, they just see insurance and click it!
Thx
I solved this by putting a statement like the one below in bold red text just above the box they have to check to select the insurance:
Do not add shipping insurance if your shipping method is this, that or the other, as shipping insurance is already included. (obviously you would replace "this", "that" or "the other" with the shipping methods that apply to your store).
I don't want to sound like I don't care about my customers, because I do, but quite honestly if a statement in bold red text doesn't stand out well enough for them to see it, then so be it. At some point, customers need to be responsible for themselves and their online purchasing process.

Guess I need to add a little red to the text.
I know there has to be a way to run an if {xxx} statement, but I'm still learning php.
Yeah, a little red never hurts <grin>
I agree, there is probably a way using an if statement, but I don't know enough about PHP to even hazard a guess.
You could try posting your question directly to Numinix's website.

You would need to add more lines for other usps shipping options as needed, for example:Code:if ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] != 'usps_EXPRESS'
&& $_SESSION['shipping']['id'] != 'usps_PRIORITY'
&& $_SESSION['shipping']['id'] != 'usps_PARCEL'
&& !IS_ADMIN_FLAG)
Hope this helps...Code:if ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] != 'usps_EXPRESS'
&& $_SESSION['shipping']['id'] != 'usps_PRIORITY'
&& $_SESSION['shipping']['id'] != 'usps_PARCEL'
&& $_SESSION['shipping']['id'] != 'usps_FIRST CLASS'
&& $_SESSION['shipping']['id'] != 'usps_MEDIA'
&& !IS_ADMIN_FLAG)
If you'd like to see it in action my test store is located @ TEST STORE
Nicely done :)

Just for reference we are using quick checkout.
Thank you in advance
I'm working on updating the USPS Shipping module to include insurance quoting along with other optional services.Quote:

Thanks again
Has anyone any idea why "Amount Exempt From Fee" is not working? I have it setup to $200 and the shipping insurance box still shows on checkout pages. Isn't this suppose to remove the shipping insurance box as it assumes the package is already insured?
Breaking my head trying to make this work :no:
What's the solution to this?
Thanks
