Hi,

In our shop we sell CD's and the shipping cost is per product.
But now we do have a new product, a T-shirt in different sizes.
The price is the same for each size but.........
When you order 1 shirt, the shipping price is lets say $4,-.
The shipping price for 2 t-shirts is the same because they fit in the same package.
How can I set this up?

Regards, Theo

Hi,

I suppose that to configure the shipping cost per product, you've created one manual shipping method and activated its "shipping price per product" setting.
And then, in each product, under the "shipping prices" section, you've added an entry for that shipping method with the cost of shipping for that particular product.
In there, you have 3 inputs:
- Min Qty, for the minimum quantity of that product for the shipping cost to be taken into account
- Price, the shipping cost of each item of the product in the cart ( so quantity of the product in the cart will be multiplied by that value to calculate the total shipping cost )
- Fee, the global shipping cost for that product, regardless of the quantity in the cart

So, either you configure an entry with no price and a fee if you want the shipping cost to be the same regardless of the quantity of the product in the cart, or you configure several entries, with different Min Qty and different Fee if you want to have several fixed shipping costs based on the quantity in the cart.

I would recommend going through the tutorial on shipping price per product that we have here:
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/3...ng-manual-price.html
It explains this and more.

Hi Nicolas,

I'm totally lost in here
For one product it's easy, select size and add to cart.
But now a customer wants 1 T-shirt size S and 1 T-shirt size XL.
Is this possible before you add it to the cart?
And then.....The shipping costs must be the same as when you add one T-shirt to the cart (lets say $ 4,-)
When you want 3 T-shirts, it must be $ 8,-

Hi,

So, if I understand correctly, you have two questions now:

1. You want for the customer to be able to set the quantity of different sizes of a product and then have only one "add to cart" button, which would then add all the sizes of that product in the cart at the same time.
This is possible. You want to change the "Characteristics selection method" setting of the HikaShop configuration to "List", and you want to also change the "Add to cart on listings" setting there to "Global":
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/5...html#display_product
This will give you a list of the variants of the product on the product details page, with one quantity field per variant and one add to cart button for all the variants, allowing the customer to add to the cart several variants of the same product at the same time.

2. The shipping prices configured on the main product will take effect on all the variants of the product and the total quantity of the variants of that product in the cart will be taken into account for the calculations of the shipping cost.
So having variants in your products shouldn't change anything to what I said in my previous message and what the documentation on the shipping price per product is saying.
