Minimum shipping fee

[cdnbride]

Customize the code from:

        $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                           'title' => $this->types[$type],
                           'cost' => ($cost + MODULE_SHIPPING_UPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);

to now force the amount ...

if ($cost < 7.95) {
        $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                           'title' => $this->types[$type],
                           'cost' => (7.95 + MODULE_SHIPPING_UPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);
} else {
        $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                           'title' => $this->types[$type],
                           'cost' => ($cost + MODULE_SHIPPING_UPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);
}

Will this also work in the "Per Unit"(by weight) shipping module?

Same concept but you have to adapt the code for that shipping module ...

[cdnbride]

Okay sounds easy,(probably isn't) lol, I'm going to give it a try.

[cdnbride]

Okay so putting that bit of code into the perweightunit.php didn't work..... can somebody tell me where to put the code in and if it would be the same code that was used for the USPS module?
Thanks again!
Lisa

This is a constant:
MODULE_SHIPPING_UPS_HANDLING

all of the shipping modules have unique constants ...

For UPS it uses:
MODULE_SHIPPING_UPS_HANDLING

For Per Unit it uses:
MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_HANDLING

See if you forgot to change ALL of the constants to match the shipping module you are working with ...

Hi Ajeh

All I changed is the two lines below (in red), because I really haven't learned as much as I need to to understand why I'm changing it, but I thought that I would at least give it a try. I kind of knew that it probably wouldn't work out to be that easy.

Try using this ...

    $total_weight_units = $shipping_weight;
    if (MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_COST * $total_weight_units < 15.00) {
    $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
                          'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_TEXT_TITLE,
                          'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,
                                                   'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_TEXT_WAY,
                                                   'cost' => (15.00)
                                                              + MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_HANDLING)));
    } else {
    $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
                          'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_TEXT_TITLE,
                          'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,
                                                   'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_TEXT_WAY,
                                                   'cost' => (MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_COST * $total_weight_units)
                                                              + MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_HANDLING)));

Thanks so much Linda, it worked fantastically! I just couldn't do this without the amazing help from several people on this forum. I really hope that I am able to give back the same way eventually. Thank you so very much.

I'm using the per item shipping fee and need a minimum shipping cost of $20. Can't seem to make it work by altering the code. Could be 'cause it's past 2 am and I'm tired, but any help would be appreciated.

[Ajeh]

Per Unit perweightunit is based on the total weight of the order and that weight is used to calculate the shipping charges ...

If your units are set to 1.00 then you can just alter the code:

    $total_weight_units = $shipping_weight;
    // bof: minimum 20.00
    if ($total_weight < 20.00) {
      $total_weight = 20.00;
    }
    // eof: minimum 20.00

by adding the code in RED below the code in BLACK ...
