Shipping based on a combination of Table rates and %

Hi everyone I am new to Zencart so please be kind. I am trying to configure the shipping module so that I can have a combination of a table rate and a % of subtotal...Is this possible. See below for an example of what Ia m needing

$0.00 to $50.00 = $10.00 shipping

50.00 to 100.00 = $12.00 Shipping

125.00 and above = 10% of the subtotal.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Admin -> Modules -> Shipping -> Table Rate

Install it if it is not already.

Configure it for item PRICE. Then on the $125 & above, plug in the 10% and test it. I haven't tried this with flat rate dollars and then a percentage charge. But this is the mod to set up Table Rates.

Good luck,

Thanks for the advise...I tried to use table rates and it did not calculate 10% it just shows Zero...However I found an old module called Ship Percentage in the archive and this is working...somewhat. I can put in one flat fee and then anything over a certain price gets charged a percentage of the subtotal. If I could have a full table and then anything over a certain amount would be a percentage, that would be ideal.

Thanks so much for your time

David,

I couldn't find the "Ship Percentage" module...can you help me locate it? I did a search in the forum but didn't quite find it.

Thanks.

No Problem, It is in the older archive section of the downloads area. Here is the link

Thanks. I found it and unzipped the files to the following two locations:

/ shop / includes / modules / shipping / custom /percent.php

/ shop / includes / languages / english / modules / shipping / custom /percent.php

Then I went to Admin - Modules - Shipping but I cannot find Percentage. Did I not unzip to the right place? Is there something I missed?

NOTE: this has been added to the upcoming v1.3.8 where the last price in the Table Rates table Shipping Module can be a percentage ...

Any way that I can get this plug in now?? Ajeh??

That poses an issue of releasing code early ...

We hope to have the new Zen Cart v1.3.8 out very soon ... and no, I cannot tell you when soon is ... but very soon ... :smile:

OK Thanks for the Quick Response. How much would it cost for you to help me get the following price table into my currect version of zen cart?? Or is it even possible. :)

0-50 = $10.75
50.01-100 = 12.15
100 - 125 = 13.25
Anything over 125 = 10%

Any update on resurrecting the percent.php shipping module from the older version to that it will work in 1.3.7.1? I am desperate to get shpping as a percentage of total, plus the ability to add a handling fee to all orders and a minimum shipping charge if the total is below a certain dollar amount. These were all options in the percent.php module of yesteryear.

I have the same issue with shipping calculation errors for a %. When is v1.3.8 coming out? Or, are you available to help with the fix?

Zen Cart v1.3.8 will be out as soon as we are done with it ... working our little fingers to the bone ... :lamo:

I've actually taken the plunge and installed the
"old" percent shipping and it seems to be working. Too bad it is hidden in the old archives and not being made easily accessible.
