Maximum shipping charges

Currently, we are set-up to charge a handling fee of $2.00 and $1.25 per item. So if you order 1 item, it will cost you $3.25 total S&H. If you order 2 items, it will cost you $4.50 total. My question is, is it possible for me to set up a max. S&H charge regardless of how many items are ordered. For example, based on how we have it set-up, if one were to order 10 items, it would cost them $14.50. I would actually like to use the calculations that we already have in place but set a max. of say.....$10.00.

You could customize the Item Rate item shipping module, I recommend cloning it otherwise it will get overwritten in an upgrade ...

Find the code for:

// class methods
    function quote($method = '') {
      global $order, $total_count;

      // adjusted count for free shipping
      $item_total_count = $total_count - $_SESSION['cart']->free_shipping_items();
      $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
                            'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_TITLE,
                            'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,
                                                     'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_WAY,
                                                     'cost' => (MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_COST * $item_total_count) + MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_HANDLING)));

And customize the cost to manage the highest you want to charge ...

I have the same question as boogy. If I implement this code do I input the dollar values myself? I'm a noob when it comes to this so I guess my question really is will this code perform the function that boogy is looking for? Could you further explain this if you have the time? Thanks in advance.

Just get cost to be the right value ... this is then managed for the currency elsewhere ... :smile:
