I just found out that if you add a 'Quantity' to a variant for inventory control, the Main Product Record shipping settings are disregarded and you get a 'No Shipping Method Found' error message. I have tested this and it is how it works. I set the 'Warehouse' and weight on the variant records and, viola, we got a proper shipping charge. This is problematic due to the work involved with variants. Logic would dictate that if you have added a quantity to a variant and there is 'no' shipping information entered on the variant, that the order process should use the 'main product' shipping information to determine shipping. Let's say you have 10 sizes, 5 colors and 4 textures on a dress. You want to keep inventory control on each variant. Fine! However, all of the dresses are coming from a single Warehouse or has a single shipping method. If you set it up in the main product record, it is disregarded now that a 'quantity' has been added to each variant. Now you have to updated 200 variants (10x5x4) to add the 'same' shipping information that is in the 'main product' record to each individual variant. This is 'unacceptable' as it creates a lot of unnecessary work to maintain shipping. Now if the 'main product' shipping is suppose to be used, why didn't it work on my clients site and I did test it multiple times. If you have to put the shipping info on each individual variant when a quantity is added, please add this to your 'to-do' list to use the 'main product' shipping information if 'no' shipping information is marked in a variant.")* Hi, Like I said 5 days ago, it is a fix for a bug so it will be integrated. > If you validate my patch, it will be included in the next build of HikaShop. I have already commit the patch so, it's good for the next release. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.
