Optional Shipping Insurance Module [Support Thread]

[mzimmers]

Easy there.
I have all my tax rates set up in those tables. I don't want to wipe them out.

Oops. Never mind then.

I think it's just coincidence but Iowa has the geo_zone_id of 20, that's why the insert fails.

Do you know if the reference to 20 in the sql patch can be changed to a different number (one that is not yet in use in my zone and tax rate tables?

If I can simply change the value to 200, let's say, then I could insert the values without any issue. I just don't know if 20 is referenced somewhere in the code for the insurance module.

I don't know what to say about that. In my DB, the "International" zone has the ID of 20 (in the geo_zones table).

How many records do you have in geo_zones, anyway?

Here is how I got it to work, not sure on the order of creation...sorry

Make a new Zone called Shipping Insurance Zone

Make a new tax class called Shipping Insurance

Create a new tax rate for Shipping Insurance tax class with 0% as the tax rate.

Set up the Shipping Insurance Module the way you want it ( I only tried this with a percentage rate, didn't try tables)

--- I don't know if all of these steps are needed but after doing all the above the insurance fee shows up at the final checkout step right above the sub total line.

It would be nice if it was also visible on the shipping selection page so they aren't surprised to find an additional shipping fee after chosing their desired shipping method but I will take what I can get. I am tired of having the total shipping fees charged on high dollar items way off because the shipping module doesn't calculate the insurance fee correctly. NONE of the shipping modules ever got close to what I was being charged by my shippers. This has solved the problem.

Thanks!

One step that I forgot but that is required, on the Shipping Insurance Zone you created you must click on the "details" button then install all the country and all the zones for it to work.

[LRS]

Also you must select them in the free shipper configuration under Tax Class. Do not select anything in the Shipping Zone for it to work.

Thanks LRS, you saved me a lot of time

Hi

I've just installed this mod, and it's working fine, but I have one problem...

When a customer goes through checkout with the insurance included on their order, and then applies a discount coupon, the percentage is deducted from the insurance as well as from the order sub-total.

Does anyone have a way to prevent this?

Thanks,
Tija

I had set the Required Insurance Amount to astronomical to see if that allowed the shopper to select it as an option. I've also tried setting that to zero.

We're using the USPS mod. How do I set this up so that it works?

Thanks,

You must define a zone for this module to work.

Can anyone confirm if this mod works on 1.3.9x?

And what if any gotchas may be?

There seems to be a newer version on the Numinix site, but it still says for 1.3.8.

I don't seem to be able to get onto the Numinix forum to ask there.

Thank you

Hi

I've recently installed and cloned this mod, using one for shipping insurance -- the other I have been trying to configure to use as express shipping.
The only problem I have is that I need the extra charge for express shipping based on weight, rather than order total. (i.e. 500g add $3, 1kg add $5, not $50 add $3, etc.)

Does anyone know how the coding of this mod can be changed to do this?

Any help would be much appreciated :)

Thanks,
Tija
