Different shipping price per product?

v1.3.9d fresh installation, no addons, no customizations, I really have looked!!

I am wondering if it's possible to assign shipping costs to the products rather than the order?

Example:
Item A shipping $3.00
Item B shipping $4.00
Order total shipping $7.00

I am also wondering, is it possible to assign shipping methods to products or categories, excluding any others that might otherwise have applied to the situation?

Example:
Shipping modules in play are:
Free shipping for virtual products
Flat rate for DVDs
Table rate for Seminars

The client doesn't want Table rate shown for DVD's, or Flat rate shown for Seminars.

The answer to your first question is here:

There are MANY threads relating to your second question..
The solution(s) generally involve code edits, (out of necessity).

And when I order both DVDs and Seminars at the same time ... what happens? :unsure:

@RodG - thank you! I read that post but somehow thought it applied to a module, and I couldn't find that module. I think I got bleary eyed!

@Ajeh - awesome question. The client has since asked for more "normal" shipping options, I guess they didn't realize they were asking for something out of the ordinary. But the answer would be, $for the DVD, $0 for the seminar. That would make sense, wouldn't it?

You might consider if what you really need is a shipping amount based on number of DVDs * $X.XX and a shipping amount on the number of Seminars * $X.XX and add them together to get the total shipping charge ...

If this is the case, then the Per Unit perweightunit can be used by setting the shipping charge as the Product Weight of each product ...

If you need something where there is a certain charge based on the number of DVDs plus a charge for the number of Seminars, that could be calculated as well ...

You more or less need to figure out what you really want to charge for shipping on these two things and then a custom code calculation could be created to produce the shipping charges ...

thank you again -- the client is re-grouping, hopefully will return with "normal" shipping requirements :-)

!! thank you
