Hello everybody, I may really be dumb, but I can't find it in the documentation... I know it would probably be there, but I cannot find it.

I need to create a combinate shipping, which I explain with an example:

I have product1 and product2

Product1 costs 10 and Product2 costs 10.

The shipping cost is 10 as well, but only if I buy one product. For any additional products I need the system to charge me just 5.

For instance I should be charged 10 + 5 if I buy product1 and product2.

I cannot make it work. Could anyone, please help me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You want to create two manual shipping methods. In the first one you set the "minimum quantity" to 1 and the "maximum quantity" to 1 and set the "price" to 10. In the second one you set the "minimum quantity" to 2 and the "maximum quantity" to 2 and set the "price" to 15.
The system should then handle that automatically on your checkout.

Hi, thank you very much!

Hi and happy 2016.
Now I was told that the needs are different.
There are two main shipping methods, both combined..
The standard has a 5 pounds for one item and 1 additional pound for each item in the chart (for instance, three items are 7 pounds).
The express shipping, which has the same rules, but 9 pounds for the first item and 1 additional pound for every further item... is that possible to achieve?
Thanks again

Hi,

It's possible yes.
You need to create 4 shipping methods:
- one with a minimum quantity 1 and a maximum quantity of 1 and the price for 5 pounds for standard shipping
- one with a minimum quantity 2 and a maximum quantity of 1 and the price for 4 pounds for standard shipping plus the "shipping price per product" for each pound. That way the system will sum both the price and the shipping price per product
- one with a minimum quantity 1 and a maximum quantity of 1 and the price for 9 pounds for express shipping
- one with a minimum quantity 2 and a maximum quantity of 1 and the price for 8 pounds for express shipping plus the "shipping price per product" for each pound. That way the system will sum both the price and the shipping price per product

Hi, thanks.
So, the only way is to have these shipping rules for each and every product, is that correct?
Many thanks again

I'm not following you ?
Maybe I didn't understand what you wanted to do ?

I do not find the possibility to add number of items in the general shipping methods, but I can find shipping methods in every item.

Hello,

The standard has a 5 pounds for one item and 1 additional pound for each item in the chart (for instance, three items are 7 pounds).
The express shipping, which has the same rules, but 9 pounds for the first item and 1 additional pound for every further item... is that possible to achieve?

Can you give me more details and information about how do you want your 2 shipping methods to work and how you configured them through some screenshots ?

Thanks.

Thanks
Here's the screenshot, I am doing it on each product, but I wish it is possible to create general shipping rules with these features as I am going to need 4, two for the normal shipping and two for the express shipping and both need to be combined so that 1 item costs # and every item on top of it just add # on top of the initial shipping cost.

Thanks again

Hello,
In your case you'll HAVE to add these 4 rules on your products, the only alternative will be to create and configure manual shipping methods for each case (cart witch a weight of 5, 6, 7, 8 , 9, ...).
