Thanx for help.
On the shopfront I want to advertise my goods as 'what you see is what you pay' so the price showing is including the shipping costs as I do not want the customer to go thru checkout then find out about the extra for shipping.
Eg: The shopfront price would be $25 but when the customer goes thru checkout the price would read $20 for purchase and $5 shipping.
This way the pricing is transparent to the purchaser but the records on my log would all be in order regarding the cost of goods and shipping (& taxes) as seperate entries.
I hope this makes sense as its easier to see in my head that to try and explain. Being a newbie I am getting plenty of information overload.
