Different shipping price

Is it possible to change shipping price automatically day and night different? For example an additional charge after 10:00 o'clock at night ...

You could create COPIES (clones) of your shipping modules, and configure the CLONE modules to indicate that they apply to NIGHT deliveries (you will edit the LANGUAGE PHP files for the cloned modules to change the title and descriptions of the shipping option).

Then you insert the RATES for night delivery.

When the customer checks out they will be offered BOTH options - Day delivery, and Night delivery. Whichever they choose will add the required rate to their order total.

What shipping module(s) are you using and what is the extra charge that you want to add?

Per item ore flat shipping modules. Ore any shipping module which works. I just want, after 10:00am add 1.5€ to normal shipping price. Possible automatically.

To me it seems Cenkki wants to give shoppers the opportunity to choose between TWO different delivery windows:

1. Normal Hours
2. After 10pm

So you would want these two options available to the shopper at checkout as radio button selections.

If the delivery methodology and procedure is the SAME for either option (the only difference being TIME), then I think the easiest solution is to CLONE the module being used, and then to price one module differently from the other. The TEXT DESCRIPTIONS are easily edited in the modules' language files.

If Cenkki chooses to use FLAT RATE shipping, then use TWO flat_rate modules.

You could add something like the code in RED, for example in Per Item item:
/includes/modules/shipping/item.php

      // adjusted count for free shipping
      $item_total_count = $total_count - $_SESSION['cart']->free_shipping_items();

[B]// bof: charge extra for after 10pm
$hour = 22;
if (date('H') >= $hour) {
  $prehour = true;
} else {
  $prehour = false;
}
if ($prehour) {
  $extra_charge = 5.00;
} else {
  $extra_charge = 0.00;
}
//echo 'Is it after ' . $hour . '?' . ($prehour ? ' YES!' : ' NO!') . ' Extra Charge: ' . $extra_charge . '<br>';

[/B]      $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[B] + $extra_charge[/B])));
// eof: charge extra for after 10pm

      if ($this->tax_class > 0) {

Hmmmm... quite neat! (I may have a use for this myself)

Nifty, eh? :cool:

thanks :)

is it between 22:00 - 02:00. or? must turn back day time normally shipping price. normal shipping price 3.50€. night (22:00-02:00) 5.00€

You could use something like this ...

// bof: charge extra for after 10pm until 2am
$start_hour = 22;
$end_hour = 2;
$offset = -4;
switch (true) {
case ((date('H') + $offset) >= $start_hour):
  $prehour = true;
  break;
case ((date('H') + $offset) <= $end_hour):
  $prehour = true;
  break;
default:
  $prehour = false;
}
if ($prehour) {
  $extra_charge = 5.00;
} else {
  $extra_charge = 0.00;
}
// eof: charge extra for after 10pm until 2am

NOTE: The $offset is set to -4 for my server due to the server time ... be sure to set it to the right value for your server ... if you do not need it, set to 0

Thanks a lot. its works nice. But i need also total price and one shipping price. Not per item separately. I don't know which module could be. Important please.

I made flat module like this. its works. But I'm not sure :)

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

  // bof: charge extra for after 10pm until 2am

$start_hour = 22;
$end_hour = 2;
$offset = 0;
switch (true) {
case ((date('H') + $offset) >= $start_hour):
$prehour = true;
break;
case ((date('H') + $offset) <= $end_hour):
$prehour = true;
break;
default:
$prehour = false;
}
if ($prehour) {
$extra_charge = 1.50;
} else {
$extra_charge = 0.00;
}
// eof: charge extra for after 10pm until 2am

  $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
                        'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TEXT_TITLE,
                        'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,
                                                 'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TEXT_WAY,
                                                 'cost' => MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_COST + $extra_charge)));

In theory it looks right ... but you will need to test it ... :smile:
