The best is to configure your shipping method using restrictions (cart price, country, etc). Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

But what do the following settings in the shipping configuration mean? - Prefix - Minimum post code - Maximum post code - Suffix Another question: Can I restrict a certain shipping method (or shipping id) to a certain category? This would be much simpler / more useful for me, as I would like to use a certain shipping method just for the products in one single category. I hope you can help me.

If it starts with the prefix, it if ends with the suffix, if it's between X and Y numbers. There is no category restriction for the shipping but we have a "warehouse" one. Put a restriction on a category is no in the right shipping way. Because if you have two products in two different categories, you won't be able to see the shipping methods. Each one will refuse it display because there are products which are not in the right associated category. The warehouse system is more in the "HikaMarket" way. It will split the products depending their warehouse and it will propose to the customer several "groups" of products like HikaMarket can propose shipping per vendor. The warehouse interface is not finished in HikaShop, but the shipping part is working. If you change the values directly in the database (or via the mass-action) I think you can have something working... If it is really what you want to do.
