    Default Zone Rate plus a percent?

    I am setting up the shipping using the Zone Rates module. Besides the weight ranges to determine prices, I need to add an extra 0.6% of the $ total of the sale to pay the shipping insurance. How can I do this? Thanks in advance!

    You can customize the shipping module you are using for this ...

    I recommend cloning the shipping module first, then customizing that one so you do not have your code overwritten on future upgrades ...

    Linda, thanks for your reply. I didn't notice it until now, had not realized I had notifications off for the subscriptions...

    Tell me, how do I find out what the order total is from that file, the shipping module I'll be editing, and how can I display and add this percentage as part of the shipping?

    Look in the shipping module for where the rate is determined and you will see:
    PHP Code:
        $order_total_amount $_SESSION['cart']->show_total() - $_SESSION['cart']->free_shipping_prices() ;

    I look and look and still can't figure out well how to implement the extra 0.6% for the insurance in the shipping module. I was wondering if it'd be better to implement it with an Order Total module.

    I ended up adding it in the file you mentioned, at the end of the weight method case.

    PHP Code:
    // Here we'll add the shipping insurance 0.6%. ~Anguz
    $shipping += $_SESSION['cart']->show_total() * 0.006
