Re: Set P&P costs in Cart

If you have it enabled, the Information Sidebox will have a shipping info link to your define_shippinginfo.php page .

You describe your shipping and returns policies in that page.

You can also build internal hyperlinks to that page in other parts of your site (such as product description text) that goes something like this:

<a href="index.php?main_page=shippinginfo">See our shipping policy here</a>

Re: Set P&P costs in Cart

Hi, im not sure if it is active..but may be easier for you to see if it actually is active:

www.splay.co.uk

goods can be placed in cart, but only UK P&P is shown...

wish for it to be like:

http://www.edirectory.co.uk/pf/880/shopcart/

unsure if you can view the cart, but just try to add something to the cart...you will see the full postage costs in table format.

if possible?? any suggesetions

Re: Set P&P costs in Cart

You can configure your shopping cart page to display the shipping estimator as PART OF THE PAGE instead of having it as a button-driven popup.

Admin>>>Shipping/Packaging

Shipping Estimator Display Settings for Shopping Cart (Set to 2)

I do this with my client's site at www . edutrade . co . uk .

Re: Set P&P costs in Cart

NOTE: the only draw back to displaying the Shipping Estimator on the shopping_cart is when there is a problem with obtaining a quote from UPS or USPS due to issues with their server ...

If their servers are slow, then the shopping_cart page is slow ...

If their servers are playing dead, then the shopping_cart page is dead ... :eek:

While this does not happen a lot, it can happen and cause a lot of problems ... as long as you are aware of this, and now know just change the setting back to the Shipping Estimator button when those times happen ... you should be good to go ... :smile:
