Additional fee handling

At the moment I offer shipping by zones:
6,80€ or free shipping above 100€.

I would like distinguish between shipping costs and costs for material and Lucid (German licencing program for shipping material recycling management).
That would result in 1. 4,90€ + 1,90€ or 2. free shipping and 1,90€ extra fee (if above 100€).

Prisewise I could just configure the zones to 1,90€ above 100€ of course. But to make it transparent to the customer an additional point would be good to make a professional decleration of the costs.

Is there a built-in possibility to additionally add such a fee at the checkout?

Try adding it in attributes =)

Interesting idea.

Wow! Just Wow!

This gave me a idea for my own store.

I have some hire products where I wanted to add in a bond, but we've never wanted to include it in the price because it makes it look unpalatable.

However, add in a dropdown attribute with just one option available (with the $ value of the bond you want) and it gets automatically included when added to cart.

Brilliant!

How are you going to make the approach for the implementation?
Do you aready have an idea?

For you, I think,

go into Option Name Manager
Add a New Option Name
Lucid
go into Option Value Manager
Select Option Name to filter Values
Lucid
Then enter 'costs for material and Lucid' - or whatever you want
Insert
go into Attributes Controller
select the product
select Lucid
select 'costs for material and Lucid'
put 1.90 in the price field
click insert

done

Thank you for your effort.
I understand how to create and alter attributes.
What I meant is whether you are going to combine the attribute at the checkout with a shipping module or similar.
As I understand you approach you are going to add the attribute to the product, right?

I'm not, no, I'm not using it for shipping purposes.

Is your 1.90 for the whole order or per product?

It is for the whole shipping.

The shipping consists of 1. "postage" and 2. "package and recycling"

Instead of showing 6,80€ I would like to show 4,90€ for "postage" and 1,90€ for "package and recycling".

You could create an order-total module that (a) determines and (b) displays the 'package and recycling' cost to the customer.

This would be the best solution I think but I haven't made anything like this at Zen Cart yet.
