Hey djrutsch,

To have this functionality based off of the calendar, where if a user selects a Saturday delivery date they are charged more, is a bit of a task. This may become much easier to do when zen cart 2.0 is released and will be 100% (or close to) object oriented code.

There are a few stop-gag options for you:

  • Disable all Saturdays on the calendar from being active, so that it cannot be chosen as a delivery date.
  • or; Add an attribute to your product pages that forces (ie: a required field) the user to select either a weekday OR saturday delivery before getting to the checkout. For the weekday attribute you can leave it as $0, and for the saturday attribute you can set it to whatever additional amount you'd like to charge. When they get to the shipping page they then select which day of the week or which saturday they would like for delivery.

I can help you with either of the above two options if you need assistance, as they are easy and quick to do.
