UPS Shipping Markup?

[RocketFoot]

Is there anyway to markup ups shipping? Say the actual customer shipping cost is $10.00 we like to add 20% on top of that to cover handling and shipping materials. I don't see a place to add a percentage markup...so how to do without customer seeing the markup?

Ugggh, still trying to figure a way to add markup to shipping UPS charges...there has to be a way to do this? I see the UPS handling fee box in the settings, but It seems to add a flat fee to each transaction. I need to ad a percentage variable on the shipping cost.

I did not test this but you should be able to customize the ups.php shipping module with:

// calculate order total less free shipping
    $order_total_amount = $_SESSION['cart']->show_total() - $_SESSION['cart']->free_shipping_prices() ;
    $percentage_added = $order_total_amount * .20;

        $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                           'title' => $this->types[$type],
                           'cost' => (($cost + MODULE_SHIPPING_UPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes) + $percentage_added );

Linda's solution look right... we did something similar for a separate isssue.

This is just what I was needing as well!!!

After playing around with it for a bit I got it to work!

I did replace:

$percentage_added = $order_total_amount * .20;

with

$percentage_added = $cost * .20;

SO ...

I USED THIS CODE:

// calculate order total less free shipping
    $order_total_amount = $_SESSION['cart']->show_total() - $_SESSION['cart']->free_shipping_prices() ;
    $percentage_added = $cost * .20;

        $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                           'title' => $this->types[$type],
                           'cost' => (($cost + MODULE_SHIPPING_UPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes) + $percentage_added );

TO REPLACE THIS CODE:

// EOF: UPS USPS
	$methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                           'title' => $this->types[$type],
                           'cost' => ($cost + MODULE_SHIPPING_UPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);

in includes/modules/shipping/ups.php.

Seems to be working great!

would these work with the USPS module as well?

It is the same concept ...
