Minimum shipping rate based on weight.

[ncd]

How would one set a minimum shipping rate when basing the shipping cost on weight? In India, up to a certain weight it is a fixed amount, but afterwards it increments at lower rate for every Kilo. Would it be possible to set this in ZenCart? Or at least, all weights below say 1 kilo to be charged at 1 kilo.

Also, how does one change the measurement unit from lbs to kilograms?

Yes you need to place your weights and prices and just start at 1kg
Use the Tables shipping module.

Oh OK. Thanks.

However I still don't know how to set it display kgs instead of lbs.

• Change weight from Lbs to Kilograms
  In Zen Cart v1.3.0, there are 3 places to change from 'lbs' to whatever unit of measure you wish to display:

/admin/includes/languages/english.php
Code:
define('TEXT_PRODUCT_WEIGHT_UNIT','lbs');/includes/languages/YOURTEMPLATE/english.php
Code:
define('TEXT_PRODUCT_WEIGHT_UNIT','lbs');

// Shipping
[FONT=Arial]define('TEXT_SHIPPING_WEIGHT','lbs');

[/FONT]

Oh yeah, thats right. How dumb of me not to check there . I kept thinking it would be somewhere in the admin panel. Thanks for the help!
