I had set the Required Insurance Amount to astronomical to see if that allowed the shopper to select it as an option. I've also tried setting that to zero.

We're using the USPS mod. How do I set this up so that it works?

Thanks,

You must define a zone for this module to work.

Can anyone confirm if this mod works on 1.3.9x?

And what if any gotchas may be?

There seems to be a newer version on the Numinix site, but it still says for 1.3.8.

I don't seem to be able to get onto the Numinix forum to ask there.

Thank you

Can anyone confirm if this mod works on 1.3.9x?

I'm using this mod, version 3.13 with ZC 139h. It is working perfectly now that I have the sort orders for my order total mods set up correctly. If there are any gotcha's, I haven't seen them yet.

There seems to be a newer version on the Numinix site, but it still says for 1.3.8.

There is indeed a newer version on the Numinix site. It is version 3.2.0 and it was built for ZC 138. I haven't upgraded my mod to this newer version, because the older version seems to be working fine for me.

The differences between the two versions are in the ReadMes on the Numinix site. The link for each version's ReadMe can be found in their respective mod download package.

[ScriptJunkie]

I misspoke in my previous post. The change log outlining the differences between the versions is not in the ReadMe included in the download. It's actually on the download page for v3.2.0. Unfortunately, the changelog stops at v3.1.6, so there's no way to know what the improvements/fixes are for 3.2.0.

But, here's the link to the download and the changelog if you want it.

Hi

I've recently installed and cloned this mod, using one for shipping insurance -- the other I have been trying to configure to use as express shipping.
The only problem I have is that I need the extra charge for express shipping based on weight, rather than order total. (i.e. 500g add $3, 1kg add $5, not $50 add $3, etc.)

Does anyone know how the coding of this mod can be changed to do this?

Any help would be much appreciated :)

Thanks,
Tija

Hi

Nice mod, but I have a wee problem which I need to sort out. Any help appreciated

I have a local sales tax that I need to apply to shipping insurance. Currently this mod shows the tax inclusive amount in the Order Confirmation screen. This is ok when shipping outside of my stores zone, but local regulations state that I must clearly show the amount of local sales tax being charged. In my case I see:

Sub-Total: $100.00
Flat Rate shipping: $7.50
Shipping Insurance: $11.50
Sales Tax @15%: $16.12
TOTAL : $135.12

So the Sales tax is not showing the $1.50 of sales tax included in the shipping insurance.

For "in-zone" orders I really need to see:
Sub-Total: $100.00
Flat Rate shipping: $7.50
Shipping Insurance: $10.00
Sales Tax @15%: $17.62
TOTAL : $135.12

For "out-of-zone" or international orders I dont need to charge sales tax on the goods, but I am still charged sales tax on the shipping and insurance. Really need to see
Sub-Total: $100.00
Flat Rate shipping: $11.50
Shipping Insurance: $11.50
TOTAL : $131.50

Note that in this case the shipping amount goes up.

Er um... help please :)

Why do you need to charge sales tax on shipping insurance? Do you make a profit on it? Normally you don't charge sales tax on shipping or shipping insurance unless you are making a profit on that.



I also have a question. Does anyone have GoogleCheckout installed? If so, how does that work with this mod? Is the shipping insurance cost passed on to GoogleCheckout just fine?

Thanks.

Hi,

Anyone been able to get optional insurance working for any country apart from the one the store is in? When delivering locally insurance is not available with my provider, however when delivering internationally it is.
