    Default Minimum shipping rate based on weight.

    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.

    • 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]
