Do you only want to attach it to existing products or can you sell it separately ? Thank you. Kind regards, Mohamed.

We do need it to be attached to product but with separate tax (no tax) attached to the labor. And again, labor from all products must be 90min minimum. Any thoughts?

Can anyone think of a way to do this?")* Hi, If you want to have a price for that labor appearing separately from the product, then then only way I can see is that you create several products "labor" in an unpublished category and add them to the other products as "option". You can for example have one for a 5 min labor, one for a 10 min labor etc. You'll also want to remove the "no" choice in the option dropdown by removing the line: Code: $option_values[] = JHTML::_('select.option', 0, JText::_('HIKASHOP_NO')); from the file "option" via the menu Display>Views. Then, supposing that the weight of all your products is 0, you could set a weight of 1 kg for the 5 min labor, 2kg for the 10 min labor, etc. And then, you could set a minimum weight restriction of 18kg in your shipping methods so that they would only display on the checkout if there is at least 90min of labor products in the cart. Then, make sure that you still have the "shipping" view in your HikaShop checkout workflow, and the system won't allow the checkout to finish if there is no shipping method selected and you'll be good to go. As a side note you can also use dimensions and volume restrictions if you're already using the weight of the products to restrict the shipping methods.

Ideally, you could not do what I wrote before, create a custom product field where you would just store the amount of labor, and develop a small plugin to calculate the amount when the cart is loaded and add a "labor fee" to the cart taking into account the minimum. Any PHP developer basing himself on this plugin [ www.hikashop.com/marketplace/product/224-global-cart-fee.html](https://www.hikashop.com/marketplace/product/224-global-cart-fee.html) (which adds a fee to the cart) should be able to do that for you.
