Write returned shipping quote vaules to order table

[Ajeh]

You appear to want to save the lowest cost of each shipping module to your order ...

For USPS you could customize the code:
/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php

around line 380 to include the code in RED:

      // bof: save lowest cost to $_SESSION['shipping_rate_usps']
      $_SESSION['shipping_rate_usps'] == 0;
      // eof: save lowest cost to $_SESSION['shipping_rate_usps']

      for ($i=0; $i<$PackageSize; $i++) {

Then around line 566 include the code in RED:

        $cost += (MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING_METHOD == 'Box') ? $usps_handling_fee * $shipping_num_boxes : $usps_handling_fee;
        // bof: save lowest cost to $_SESSION['shipping_rate_usps']
        if ($_SESSION['shipping_rate_usps'] == 0 || $_SESSION['shipping_rate_usps'] > $cost) {
          $_SESSION['shipping_rate_usps'] = $cost;
        }
        // eof: save lowest cost to $_SESSION['shipping_rate_usps']
        // set the output title display name back to correct format
        $title = str_replace(array('RM', 'TM', '**'), array('®', '™', ''), $type_rebuilt);

Maybe this will help you on the other shipping modules ...

NOTE: I have not tested this code

Thank you so much I will test later today and report back!!

Ajeh It worked perfect, and I was able to use your code to modify the UPS and FedEx modules as well without issue! Thank you again!

[Ajeh]

You are most welcome ... thanks for the update that this worked for you ...

Ajeh,

This has been working great however I'm adding UPS Surepost and need to save that as well as the Ground rate, can the above code be modified to save two/three rates? UPS uses service codes which are:

Gound: 03
SurePost: 92 less than 1 lb
SurePost: 93 greater than 1 lb

There will on be either a 92 or 93 not both plus code 03

[marcopolo]

Sorry there is a typo in my post above I do not need to save the surepost as ground I need to save both surepost and ground rates separately.

For every field to be captured, if you use a unique session variable name then you can capture as many such rates as coded. In the case of surepost, looks like only 92 or 93 will provide a non-zero rate based on weight. At least it would appear that way... Would test, but basically could use something like:

if($service_code == 92 || $service_code ==  93) {
$_SESSION['shipping_rate_surepost'] = $rate;
}

At the point where the rate is returned, using the variables specific to UPS, after setting that session variable to 0 and also put within an if statement like Ajeh suggested.

The only thing overall that I see that *might* be an issue is if the shipping contents/rate change after the initial data collection. It might not be/probably isn't an issue, but I would recommend testing that scenario to see if something more has to be done...

Ok that got me on the right track, I had to modify it to the below for it to work:

            if ($rateReply->Service->Code == 03) {
            $_SESSION['shipping_rate_ups'] = $cost;
            }
            if ($rateReply->Service->Code == 92 || $rateReply->Service->Code ==  93) {
            $_SESSION['shipping_rate_ups_surepost'] = $cost;
            } 

Thank you for your help!

Glad that it helped, but I notice that the tests that Ajeh included in her below code were not incorporated: ie if current session value is 0 or if current estimate is greater than the current session value. I don't know the impact of the absence of that test, and it is that aspect that I encouraged doing your own testing to validate that the proper data is captured as expected, needed, or desired.

If incorporated I would suggest placing it within each of the above if statements, around the session assignments.

Yes the below is in my code as Ajeh outlined:

            $_SESSION['shipping_rate_ups'] == 0;
            $_SESSION['shipping_rate_ups_surepost'] == 0;
