Shipping Setting for Multiple Dropshippers

[iakmathurin]

Hi

I am extremely new to ZenCart, and PHP for that matter.

I sell products from a number of different dropshippers, and therefore, different locations.

My question is, "how do I setup shipping from the different zip codes".
I don't ship much from my store location.

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

That I know of, none of the Zen Cart shipping modules will work for anyone with drop shippers. I use shipping as an attribute since some of my drop shippers use 2nd day, some ground, some don't ship overseas, etc. The customer basically selects the type of shipping and/or their geographic location. And I change the settings for each product. For example:

1. 2nd day shipping to the continental US
2. Alaska, Puerto Rico, Canada ground
3. Australia express
4. Australia surface

And so on.

And yes, it's a pain in the ######.

This is definitely a limitation in ZC. Even if a business doesn't drop ship, there could be multiple warehouses for the same store. Setting shipping calculation based on one store is tough.

Thanks guys for the replies.
Sorry about the delayed response. I've been dealing with a bad back.

I have looked and looked at the attributes, and still have no clue how to use it. For one thing, the selections are for the categories and not the 'suppliers'. If I could have set it by the suppliers, I could make it work. But I will keep trying.

Thanks again though.

You have to set it product by product.

I am also trying to take my site online (live) but I am not sure how to configure the site into my root dir.
I know that index.php will have to be there, but the rest of the site is in a folder called Store.

I can reach my site if I type in my browser: www.miziaktraders.com/Store/index.php but I need my customers to reach it via: www.miziaktraders.com

Anybody know what needs to be done?
