Need help with shipping

[enetllc]

I need help with shipping. How do I set different shipping rates on different items. (i.e. product a shipping $15, product b shipping $10) Thanks for the help.

I am using the newest zen cart version.

You could use the Per Unit perweightunit shipping module where the Product Weight products_weight is used for the shipping cost ...

To do this, be sure to change the settings in the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging and set the Maximum Weight to 5000 and the Tare Rates to 0:0 ...

Now just enter the shipping price for each Product as the Product Weight and this will be the Product shipping per quantity for the Product ...

Hi i have my shipping set up like this and it all works fine, but i want to set it so the customer pays a maximum shipping cost of £4.99.

meaning i may set all my products with different shipping cost but if they order more they wouldn't pay anymore then £4.99 postage.

so if i had product A = postage 99p product B = postage £2.99 and product C = postage £1.99 total would be £5.94 but i want to cap it at £4.99 so they never pay more then £4.99 no mater how many items they order.

is this possible?? please help

You would then need to customize the shipping module that you are using that when the cost is > 4.99 it should only charge 4.99 ...

You would need to customize the code for:

    $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 * $shipping_num_boxes) +
                                                   (MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_HANDLING_METHOD == 'Box' ? MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_HANDLING * $shipping_num_boxes : MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_HANDLING) ) ));

You could make an IF around this ...

if ( (MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_COST * ($total_weight_units * $shipping_num_boxes) + (MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_HANDLING_METHOD == 'Box' ? MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_HANDLING * $shipping_num_boxes : MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_HANDLING) ) > 4.99) {

    $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' => 4.99 )));

} 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 * $shipping_num_boxes) +
                                                   (MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_HANDLING_METHOD == 'Box' ? MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_HANDLING * $shipping_num_boxes : MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_HANDLING) ) ));
}

I did not test this but something like that should work ...

Hi,
How to set shipping discount in this way.
If I set the shipping for each individual Item as described above ,
for example shipping for the first item will be $6,
and for each additional Item $2
each item will be set as first item shipping price and additional shipping price.
also for multi items
Thanks

Just use Item Rate item shipping module and set it up with:
Item Rate: 2.00
Handling: 4.00

Now the 1st item is $6.00 ($2.00 + $4.00) and each additional item is $2.00 ...

[gatenioy]

Thanks,
How to set handling for each item,
if item A -shipping is $6 and each additional is $2
Item B - shipping is $8 each additional is $3 and so on
and the buyer order both.

I saw setting handling in global not per Item.
please advice
