Complicated Shipping Quesion - Combos
Hi,
I have a question concerning scripting to calculate shipping cost. I would like to be able to set a range of different combos.
For example. Right now, I want to use a shipping scheme that charges $12.50 for the first item, plus $2.50 for each additional product.
However, this would only apply to the main products which are quite heavy. I also sell a small replacement lockring which cost only $0.59 and weighs less than a gram so I really don't want the client to have to pay an addition $2.50 for this item. It should be free shipping.
Now, before you say "just set the free-shipping setting" for the little lockring, I have to be careful. Some clients purchase these later on. In this case, I still need to be able to charge them for the cost of a stamp.
Do these kinds of dynamic shipping calculations have to be written in code, or is there a way to do it with Zencart? I ask because I have zero experience with anything except for HTML, and even after lots of forum browsing and FAQ reading, I still can't figure out the hierarchy or the Zencart files (ie - which files do what and to whom).
Thanks!
