Allow Freight Collect Shipments?

I have searched several times, but can't seem to find anyone who allows a customer to choose FREIGHT COLLECT and enter their UPS/Fed Ex/Or Other Freight Carrier ACCOUNT NUMBER in a text box.

Is there a module like this?

Or is there a way I could customize an existing shipping module to do this?

Thanks in advance.

I agree...I could not find any mods for this. Here is what I did.

Our company does not use the "Store Pickup" option. I turned that on, then edited the \includes\languages\english\modules\shipping\storepickup.php file.

What was:

define('MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_TEXT_TITLE', 'Store Pickup');
define('MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_TEXT_DESCRIPTION', 'Customer In Store Pick-up');
define('MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_TEXT_WAY', 'Walk In');

I changed to:

define('MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_TEXT_TITLE', 'Freight Collect');
define('MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_TEXT_DESCRIPTION', 'Freight Collect');
define('MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_TEXT_WAY', 'Enter the Carrier, Method (Ground, Next Day, etc.) and your Account Number in the notes section below.  The account number will be confirmed before shipping.');

Change the text to whatever you want. Seems to work so far.

Will this help you?

Thank you very much for your help! This worked for my store :clap:

I have edited this file but when I choose the option of Ship Collect the next screen hangs.

If I change or save this file in any way it hangs.....

Am I missing something when editing this code ?

Are there any other files related ?

Is there another mod or option to offer frieght collect as a shipping option ?

Thanks,

OK, this does work.

My problem after looking through unrelated posts seems to be my Dreramweaver being used as an editor. Someone said to get Crimson Editor (Free) and use that for editing. I still uploaded with Dreamweaver.

That solved my problem of hanging when going through checkout. This may also be related to my first test run of my website where I started editing some text on the checkout screens and I was getting a white hang page also. Forced me to start completely over. But now, can someone tell me why dreamweaver is not a good tool for editing ?

Thanks,
