How to set the product quantity and the shipping table??

Dear all :smile:,

I am new to this, just trying to set a shipping rule, shipping charged per weight, 250g for $4.3, 500g for $7, however it seems the weight unit was measured by ibs...in this case, how can I set the shipping rule??:blink:

And for the product quantity setting...
Product Qty Minimum:
Product Qty Maximum: 0 = Unlimited, 1 = No Qty Boxes
Product Qty Units:
Product Qty Min/Unit Mix:
I want to say that I got 99 units as inventory, and the minimum purchase is 1, however I always received a warnning stated

"Please update your order. The item ... Quantity Units errors -
You ordered a total of: 1 Units: 99 Max: 99 "

and is there anyway that I can hide the Quantity Box, and pp still able to buy more than one item?(when I choose "Do not show Quantity Box", it seems that ppl only able to buy 1 item)

Thank you so much for your time!:flex:

Hi sweetoz,

As for lbs or kgs as a weight measure you need to modify

[file: includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php]

define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_UNITS', 'kg');

define('TEXT_SHIPPING_WEIGHT','kg');

[file: includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/zones.php]

define('TEXT_PRODUCT_WEIGHT_UNIT','kg');

+++

Admin > Modules > Shipping

Zone Rates > edit

Enable Zones Method: true
Calculation Method: Weight

if your Zone 1 is set to the default country (in my case Australia) then in "Zone 1 Shipping Table"
enter this: "0.5:7.70,3:10.90" (without the quotes) which means the customer is charged $7.70 for any shipping weight up to 0.5kg and $10.90 for any weight higher than 0.5kg to max 3.0 kg. Modify to your requirements.

+++

Admin > Catalog > Categories/Products

pick the product you want to edit

Product Qty Minimum: set to "1" - this allows ordering 1 product (or multiples of 1) of its kind

Product Qty Maximum: set to "0"

Product Qty Units: set to "1"

Product Qty Min/Unit Mix: radio button "Yes"

Products Quantity: enter your quantity in stock

Products Shipping Weight: enter the weight of your product (make an allowance for packing materials)

Don't hide the Quantity box, the customer can still order multiples of "1" (based on the above configuration)

Thank you so much, that really helpful ~!:clap:

The warning message is disappear now~! :smile:I just wondering is it possible to buy more than one unit per time?:dontgetitIt seems that ppl can not updated the quantity for the products in the shopping cart, and we have to go back to the category to add the same product into the shopping cart?? So if someone want to buy 10 units...he actually have to go back 10 times??:ohmy:

For
[file: includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/zones.php]

define('TEXT_PRODUCT_WEIGHT_UNIT','kg');

----I can't find these words in zones.php..The similarest words are"define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_UNITS', 'lbs');" is so I have to insert it or just changed to "define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_UNITS', 'kg');"

Currently the "estimate shipping"function works but works incorectly :frusty: Thers is only one product in the shopping cart weighted 1kg, but the estimate shipping shows as:
Zone Rates (Shipping to CA (1 x 4.00kg)) $20.00:oops:

:smile:The "Estamite shipping" problem has been solved, I found that caused by the default packing weight setting :smile:

The only problem left is for the quantity number in shopping cart, is it possible to modify the quantity without back to the category?:huh:Thanks:smile:

Hi sweetoz,

it should be possible to change the quantity on the shopping cart page.

As an example log on to my site frnt.org/zencart and drop something in the cart (eg an Active Elements product), then proceed to the shopping cart. On the left hand side of the cart I have a checkbox which shows the quantity. If you now change this quantity to say 10 or something and click the reload button next to that checkbox, then the shopping cart updates itself.

Provided your configuration is set the same way, it should work without having to go back to the catalog.
