Shipping costs

Hi,

so I've added the shipping costs to my orders. But since I cannot let the price of the shipping cost grow with the number of products (or their weight) I added a second shipping module.

For example, the problem first was as follows:

if I had lets say 3 pairs of shoes, the shipping costs would be the same as for 1 pair (unless I'd work with a percentage of the price, which I don't want to).

What I've got now: product category 1 has weight class 1 (kg) and the shipping costs will be €4.95. product category 2 (kg) will cost €7.95. When I buy a product from only one of the categories, everything's fine. But when I decide to buy a product form cat. 1 and cat. 2 as well, it just doesn't add no shipping costs.

Is there anything I can do to solve the problem?

Thanks!

Hi,

In HikaShop, as well as in most shopping carts, a shipping method apply to the whole order and not for each product.

You should try this method:
cat1 products have a weight of 1 kg and a volume of 0
cat2 products have a weight of 1g and a volume of 1

Then you need to create the following shipping methods:
from 0.5 to 1.5 kg and under 0.5 volume: €4.95
from 0.5 to 1.5 kg and from 0.5 to 1.5 volume: €12.90
under 0.5 kg and from 0.5 to 1.5 volume: €7.95
etc...

works great! (again )

thank you so much, I would have been searching for hours, getting frustrated to the max... hehe

I would like to ask also something on it. What if from the same category the weight exceeds the set value. In this case i have to charge more per kilo. How i'm gonna do this?

I don't understand your question... You can just create several shipping methods with corresponding weight limits...

Ok. So let's say that i have a product that weights 500 gr. and on checkout is calculated with shipping method1. If the same products is 5 pcs. goes to 2.500 gr it would be calculated automatically with shipping method2? Did i understood correctly?

Yes. The shipping methods will be filtered out so that only the shipping methods relevant to your order are displayed.

So, suppose you have method 1 which has a max weight of 2490 gr and a method 2 which has a min weight of 2491gr. When you have less than 2491gr in your order, only method 1 will be displayed and usable. When you have more, only method 2, will be displayed and usable.

Thank!!! It worked
