Show handling fee in checkout step 2?

[SuzR]

I'm lost.. I can't find a way to show the handling fee in the order totals display in step 2 of the checkout process.

The system adds the handling fee and shipping cost corectly, but presents it as a already added sum. I'd like to have it on separate lines, like:

Shipping cost: 50.00
Handling cost: 10.00

Is that doable? If so, how?

If you want them to appear as separate lines within the order totals, then you will have to alter your shipping module coding. I can't think of any way to do this, without writing a new order_totals module, and updating every shipping module code. We have jsut completed something similar on one of our stores, and this was achieved by setting the shipping_module->handling_fee value, and then using the order_totals module to check for this value. If it was set, then the order_totals module displayed it. However, this does mean that you then need to remove the handlee_fee maths from all the shipping modules. You also need to consider the tax rates, and if you are going to use a different tax class for the handling fee, or just carry the values over from the selected shipping rate.

Hope this points you in the right direction!

Thank you!
Yes, it put me in the direction that "It can wait until I have a system that's running"..

I don't see that it would be a huge problem to implement, I just have to study the code a little to get a grasp of how it's doing its work..
Pity that the functionality isn't implemented from start though.

Thanks!
