    help question Can you Reword the way things read in the shipping estimator screen?

    hi this is my first post I've been using zen cart for about 7 months now and I absolutely love it.

    My customers however have one issue that I can't seem to get them past. When they use the shipping estimator button they read it exactly as it is worded.

    I offer two shipping methods the Flat rate or the Per item. when they look the see the flat rate as $7.50 and the Per item they read as it will cost that per every item in the cart.

    Is there a way to add text to the estimator screen that better explains what the numbers mean, or is there a way for me to alter the wording of each so they know its a choice between the two and that its the total order?

    Thank you for assistance on this, I'm loosing a few customers because of confusion I'm afraid.

    There is a "grep"/search tool in the admin that you can search for text strings that are usually a defines...

    April,
    I think what kobra is trying to tell you is ... just look up the wording of "Per Item" using the Developers Toolkit ... then edit the file and change the title in the PHP define() statement (in the file) to say something less confusing to your customers.
