Charge a shipping percentage for all of my products

Hello all,

I need help fast!

I am having to reconfigure my store to ship in bulk. Because we have a lot of products that all weigh different amounts, I need to know how to set my shipping to calculate a 12% shipping fee for the total number of products being ordered regardless of their weight.

Does anyone know a way? Please let me know. Thanks.

-Eric

Just found out about the Shipping module. What's it called?

It's under Admin - Modules - Shipping. You want to install Table Rate, and in the "Shipping Table" box just put 10000:12% and under Table Method select Price.

However, you can have ZC total the product weights, add whatever you consider a suitable tare, and then figure shipping cost based on the weight. That's what I have ZC doing and I too have products with wildly differing weights.
