Re: How to set a specific shipping price for a specific product?

You could use the Per Unit perweightunit shipping module that uses the products_weight for the shipping charge ...

Be sure to set your in the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ...
Set to 0:0

Package Tare Small to Medium - added percentage:weight
What is the weight of typical packaging of small to medium packages?
Example: 10% + 1lb 10:1
10% + 0lbs 10:0
0% + 5lbs 0:5
0% + 0lbs 0:0

Set to: 5000

Enter the Maximum Package Weight you will ship
Carriers have a max weight limit for a single package. This is a common one for all.

Re: How to set a specific shipping price for a specific product?

Thnak you for your reply. But the problem is that I have some item that are free shipping (vouchers) up to a certain ammount. Past 100 USD we require a shipping fee tomail the vouchers. Therefore setting the shipping module per weight/item will also elimitate completely the shipping fee on the vouchers above $100.00.
What can i do else?

Thanks

How many of these Products do you have with "special" shipping costs?

Does their shipping cost remain the same regardless of whether they are purchased alone or with other products?

When more than one is purchased, is the shipping cost based on their "special" shipping cost * quantity?

Re: How to set a specific shipping price for a specific product?

I have one product with special shipping cost. We sell the product at the retail price. We only make money off the shipping cost. we want the shipping to be multiply by the number of item purchase.

I hope that help in resolving my issue.

You could add a test for the product to your shipping modules to add in the additional cost ...

There is a function to test what is in the shopping_cart.php class that might help with this:

  function get_quantity($products_id) {
