Handling Fee as Percentage?

[EC web]

Well thank you so much for your time !!! I really do appreciate the help.....I'm stumped here!

If I take the code out that does the 1.75 and just add the 1.75 into the shipping module under admin/module/shipping, usps, it shows it either logged in or not, I just cant add the 3% like I wanted... but took it out of the code.......can't show one price in the estimator then they log in and see a higher fee....would run them off...........

ugggghhh...I'll keep searching, if I find anything I'll post so that maybe it can help someone else if they have the same issue.

Thanks again!

Try this code instead and see if it works for both your shipping_estimator and the checkout_shipping ...

global $cart;
$chk_cart_total = $_SESSION['cart']->show_total();
echo 'Cart total: ' . $chk_cart_total . ' Cost: ' . $cost . ' Extra: ' . ($chk_cart_total * .03 + 1.75) . ' = ' . (($chk_cart_total * .03 + 1.75) + $cost) . '<br>';
          $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                             'title' => $title,
                             'cost' => ($cost * $shipping_num_boxes) + ($chk_cart_total * .03 + 1.75) + (MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING_METHOD == 'Box' ? $usps_handling_fee * $shipping_num_boxes : $usps_handling_fee) );

Hi, I'm trying to do this with 1.5.1 UPS module. I need to add 15% handling fee to the UPS fee estimate.

The solution proposed here seems like what I need: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...868#post392868

but the shipping module appears different in 1.5.1. I can't find the exact code they replaced. I did find something on line 269 that seems like the place it needs to be changed, but the code they used in the example above doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Are you wanting the handling fee to be 15% of the Order Total or 15% of the Shipping Cost?

Hi thanks for replying. 15% of the shipping cost.

To make handling 15% of the shipping cost, you can customize the UPS shipping file:
/includes/shipping/ups.php

with the code:

        // EOF: UPS USPS
        $cost = preg_replace('/[^0-9.]/', '',  $cost);
        $new_handling = $cost * .15;
        $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                           'title' => $this->types[$type],
                           'cost' => ($cost * $shipping_num_boxes) + (MODULE_SHIPPING_UPS_HANDLING_METHOD == 'Box' ? $new_handling * $shipping_num_boxes : $new_handling) );

The code is a little different than the code you have here, I wonder if it is because my UPS module file is UPSXML.php instead of UPS.php? How can I get the UPS.php module? I don't know why I ended up with this one.

Ok, never mind, I found the ups.php module. I was also able to find and change the code. The prices I'm getting from the 2 different modules are different though, even with the 15% factored in. I wonder which is more accurate? Seems like the regular UPS module is giving me higher price quotes.
