Shipping method cost per kg
-- Joomla version -- : 3.6.5
-- PHP version -- : 5.5
Hello,
I want a shipping method for inside Athens and one for outside of Athens, the first will cost 2.70€ and the second 3.50€.
Now, all products have weight, could the shipping method's cost calculate for example, 2.70€+0.80€ for every extra kg?
Thank you

I want a shipping method for inside Athens and one for outside of Athens
The solution will be to :
- Create a new shipping zone via "Hikashop->System->Zones" with in it the "Athens" zone.
- Use that zone through the "Zone" option of your shipping configuration page
- Create another shipping zone with in it every zone different than "Athens"
- Use that zone through the "Zone" option of your second shipping configuration page
If you sell your product per KG, then you'll just have to add a value for the "Price per product" option of your shipping configuration page.Now, all products have weight, could the shipping method's cost calculate for example, 2.70€+0.80€ for every extra kg?
Else, you'll be able to adapt your shipping price for each product by using the "shipping price per products" feature :
- Set the "Use price per product" option to YES through your shipping method configuration page.
- Use options of the "Shipping prices" tab of your products configuration pages.

i have created the zones yes.
All products have the weight value filled, so, let's say for example that i have a product in my cart that weights 12kg and another one that weights 4kg, the shipping method cost for orders inside Athens and maximum weight 2kg is 2.70€ and according to the extra kg from all the products in my cart must be added the ammount of 0.80€ for each extra kg.
I sell products by the piece not by weight by i need the product's weight to calculate the shipping method's prices.
Else, you'll be able to adapt your shipping price for each product by using the "shipping price per products" feature :
- Use options of the "Shipping prices" tab of your products configuration pages.
Where are those features? I can't find them.
Thank you

If you don't see any "Shipping prices" tab through your product configuration page, you'll have to publish the "HikaShop Shipping manual - Prices per product plugin" plugin.

Did you also set the "Use price per product" option to YES through your shipping method configuration page.

As I said trough my last message :

- Set the "Use price per product" option to YES through your shipping method configuration page.
- Use options of the "Shipping prices" tab of your products configuration pages.
If you have properly published the "HikaShop Shipping manual - Prices per product plugin" plugin, can you check through your shipping methods configuration page that you have set the "Use price per product" to YES ?
Thank you.

i have set "Use price per product" to yes, i have not filled in any prices per product, in the files attached you will see the configuration i did in the "shipping prices" tab in product configuration page.
The problem is that in this perticular product the weight is 10.200kg and if i understand correctly i have to add actions for every possible minimum quantity? Otherwise, if i add 2 quantities of this product (20.400kg) the extra cost should be: product price+cost of courier+23€ weight cost (1.15 for every extra kg).
Please i really need some help with this it's confusing!
Thank you again

In that case, the best solution will probably be to directly set the "price" option to 10.35€ through the "Shipping prices" tab of your product configuration page.

this solution works but only for products over 2kg.
If i have a product that weights 500gr, and a customer orders 5 pieces of that product it does not work correctly.
Up to 4 pieces (2 kg) it should not add weight cost BUT from 5 pieces and more it should add 1.15 for each kg.
It's very confusing.

In that case, the solution will be to :
- Create another shipping method with the "Maximum weight" option set to 2 and with a fixed price
- Set the "Minimum weight" option of your actual shipping method to 2
