Hi SWGUY,

Everything is working perfectly now, thank you so much! If you wouldn't mind I do have on more question.. I modified the "tpl_chekout_shipping_default.php" to use a dropdown menu instead of a checkbox, my question is what file and if you recall line of the file would I find the IF statement to add the Gift Wrapping charge to the order?

Thanks!

This is a great mod, just what is needed at this time of year. Thanks

One small question - is there any way the price can be displayed on the checkout page, the same way that the shipping rates are?

At the moment there is no way for the customer to know what they will be charged for wrapping, unless I put it in the policies, but that is dependent on them reading the policies and means that I'd have to change code rather than just parameters if I changed the price.

TIA.

See the link that says "Gift Wrapping Policies?" That's what it's there for. The instructions show you how to change this.

Umm, you've missed the point I think :) People do not usually bother to click on links to read things like policies - it needs to be more obvious what the cost is otherwise people will assume it is free and then be irritated when they are charged on the next page.

Another suggestion you may want to consider for future versions is allowing text to be added for each gift or the whole order, so that the sender's message can go on a card. Just a thought :)

[swguy]

The cost computation can be arbitrarily complex; it's not a matter of just echoing the values you fill in on the admin page.

If you're worried that customers will be astonished by your pricing structure, you can change the anchor text to make it more obvious that it's a priced service.

define('GIFT_WRAP_EXPLAIN_LINK', 'Gift Wrapping Pricing');

Or you can alter your template to just show a text message saying this is a priced service; final pricing will be provided on the next page.

If it's appropriate for your cart, you can certainly modify your template to echo the admin page settings, but this is not a general solution.

I got the mod working, and it's great, but the customer wants it turned off for now. I did the "remove" in the Admin under Order Total Modules, but it's still showing up as an option during checkout.

How do I disable this?

[swguy]

This feature only works in the latest and greatest version. If you have an earlier version, you will need to manually delete the files (in particular, the template files) to turn it off.

Thanks, that did it. Appreciate the quick reply.

I just installed this on my test site, and I am getting double tax on the gift wrap charge.

I'm in Canada and my taxes are broken down on 2 lines, 1 for the item and 1 for the shipping but in calculating the taxes it sees to include the gift wrap charge under both item and shipping.

As an example

Item Cost $20.59
Shipping $15.44
Gift $3.08
6% Tax on item+giftwrap ($20.59+$3.08) = $1.42 (this is what shows)
6% Tax on Shipping ($15.44) = $0.93 (Screen shows $1.11 which is $15.44+$3.08 x 6%)

If I select to include tax and change recalculate to none, then the gift wrap charge goes from $3.08 to $3.45 which is basically $3.08 + 6% +6% ($3.08x6%=$3.26)

Am I making sense?
