extra information for different UPS shipping services

-- HikaShop version -- : 3.2.2
-- Joomla version -- : 3.8.4
-- PHP version -- : 7

Hi Hikashopteam,

When we use the UPS shipping plugin, customers sometimes see multiple shipping methods.
I know it depends on which shipping service we choose in the plugin.
But for customers on the front-end it's not clear what these different shipping services mean.

So it would be nice if the plugin can show a question mark with a pop-up or tooltip for each service (which we can fill in at the plug-in) with more information for each service. But a link to the UPS website for more information or just a link to a FAQ page next to these shipping services to give more explanation would also be a nice solution.

Is there a way to do this?
Maybe with some customization?

Hope you can help us.

Kind regards,
Lumiga

Hi,

You can actually add custom descriptions for each one with translation overrides.
For example, you could add:
UPS_SAVER_DESCRIPTION="This explains what the UPS saver shipping is."

In the editing screen there is a text editing field that any information inserted there will appear in the calculation of the plugin frontend.

Hi Nicolas,

That's a good idea. But where can I find all the constants from these services?

I can't find them in:
/language/en-GB or /administrator/language/en-GB

Kind regards,

Hi,

There is no such list. Take the name of the service, write it in upper case and replace spaces by underscores and add _DESCRIPTION at the end and that is the translation key for the description.

Oké thanks!
