But you have to configure your payment methods so the customer cannot pay his order but just finalize it with a manual payment method like "collect on delivery" ; so you will have the possibility to edit the order to change the shipping price and let the customer finalize the order once completed.

Is there a method that I can use to create a "to be determined" shipping cost?")* Hi Thanks entering 001 resulting in 000 is not the actual situation as it is TBD. TBD is not 0 I use free shipping as well - above a certain amount - so changing the text to TBD is not an option in that case. I than rather would like to change below in a second option "SHIPPING_TBD" when 0.001 is entered as value $price_text = ''; if(bccomp($rate->shipping_price,0,5) === 0) { $price_text = JText::_('FREE_SHIPPING'); $price_text = ''; if(bccomp($rate->shipping_price,0,5) === 0.001) { $price_text = JText::_('SHIPPING_TBD'); may you can help with an override in this way?

Is there a method that I can use to create a "to be determined" shipping cost?")* Hi, Well, if you enter 0.001 for the shipping methods with free shipping, and then change the translation of "free shipping" to "TBD", you'll get TBD for these shipping methods and you'll get 0.00 for your other free shipping methods. So what I proposed should be ok. Now if you really want to do what you suggest with code modifications, you can do that in the function getDisplayPrice of the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/checkout.php Note however that you'll loose the changes there after each update.
