Hello,

My client sells physical goods.
Each product has a specific shipping fee (so i use price per product) BUT they do not accumulate for the checkout only the highest fee should be applied.
How do i do ?

Another question : what the "BLOCKED" term means in the "Shipping Prices" part of product page.

Thanks

Hi,
1. So the solution will be to use only one shipping method by setting different shipping prices for your products by using the "price per product" option.
2. The "BLOCKED" checkbox will allow you to don't use (to block) some shipping method if you have added your product in you cart.

i don't understand very well. :oops:

Here is what i tried without success.
One shipping method with no price AND price per product activated.
One specific price for each product on the products pages.
>> Result = shipping fees = 0

One shipping method with a specified price (10 for eg.) AND price per product activated.
One specific price for each product on the products pages (let's say 12).
>> Result = shipping fees = 10

That's not what i wanted to.

To be clear, let me explain my point again.
Each product has its own fee. Whatever the number of products i'm buying it's only the highest product's fee which is applied once for the checkout.
Next point : the fees belongs to the user's profle (consumer or reseller) :woohoo:

Please help. :blush:

2. That means :
when i use the 'bocked" check box it blocks the shipping method mentioned above it. And i have to give a specific shipping fee by cliking again the "+" button. Is that right ?

Thank you

1. It's working fine in my end so can you show how did you configured your shipping method and the "shipping price" tab of your product configuration page through some screenshots ?
2. When you use the BLOCKED checkbox, you should make sure that you don't have any other shipping prices for the blocked shipping method through your product configuration page.

Ok,
Here are the screenshots

1. Shipping config = per product activated with fee set to none
2. product 1 shipping tab (8.00]
3. product 2 shipping tab (7.0.)
4 Checkout = 15 [7+8] instead of 8 [the highest between 7 and 8]

thank you for your attention

Hi,

You have "product 1" and "product 2" in your cart.
"product 1" have a shipping price for itself set to 8 and "product 2" have a shipping price for itself set to 7.
The logical final shipping price is :

[global shipping price in the config] + ( [price per product] * [products] ).

And the shipping price per product can be overridden for each product.
Your shipping configuration set the "shipping price" to 0€ and the shipping per product default price to "empty".

So the shipping total is :
0 + (7 * 1) + (8 * 1) = 15

That is perfectly logical with the feature which is called "shipping price per product".
Now if you want a totally other feature which use the higher price of a field of the products in the cart, the best will be to implement a special shipping plugin.
Using a "product custom field" you will be able to let the admin choose the special shipping price for each product and your special shipping plugin will read the cart content to determine the maximum value ; which will become the price of the shipping method.

But the feature of the "shipping price per product" does not work in the way you want.

Regards,

Jerome,

That's what I was afraid cause i'm not able to implement it myself.
I'll go to see the client and may be i'll need to hire someone for help and solve my issue.

Thank you for your answer.
