I need to charge per cost and percentage rates:
Here are my shipping rates:
Product Total Shipping Charge
Up to $20    $7.50
$20.01 to $50.00    $9.00
$50.01 to $100.00 18% of product total
$100.01 and up    15% of product total

How do I do that?

I tried combining the code for percentage and cost based: but I don't think I have it correct:
#########
######### This custom script calculates shipping
######### based on total item cost. Items
######### and percentage over 50.00.
#########
######### Custom scripts may apply to a whole
######### order if all of the items ordered
######### use the same shipping method (Custom)
######### and the same script selection. Scripts
######### are built to handle a group of like
######### items.
#########
######### A listing of available variables:
#########

######### method to be displayed to the user.
#########

my $ship_meth_name = "UPS Ground: 4-6 Days";
my $percentage = "10.000";
my $ship_total = "0.00";
my $ship_display = "";

#########
######### Figure out what the shipping charge will be by
######### using if statements and less than/greater than

#########

if ($item_subtotal >= "0" && $item_subtotal <= "20.00") {

$ship_total = "7.50";
$ship_display = "$ship_meth_name - $currency_symbol$ship_total";

} elsif ($item_subtotal > "20.00" && $item_subtotal <= "50.00") {

$ship_total = "9.00";
$ship_display = "$ship_meth_name - $currency_symbol$ship_total";

######## Percentage Based Shipping Here
$percentage = ($percentage / 100);

} elsif ($item_subtotal > "50.01" && $item_subtotal <= "100.00") {

$ship_total = ($item_subtotal * .18);
$ship_display = "$ship_meth_name - $currency_symbol$ship_total";

} elsif ($item_subtotal > "100.01" ) {

$ship_total = ($item_subtotal * .15);
$ship_display = "$ship_meth_name - $currency_symbol$ship_total";

} ######### End of if statement.

#########
######### Format the $ship_total as a price.
#########

$ship_total = sprintf("%.2f", $ship_total);

#########
######### Return the HTML in the variable
######### $custom_code_result.

Looks pretty close... try this one:

Code:

my $ship_meth_name = "UPS Ground 4-6 Days";
my $ship_total = "0.00";
my $ship_display = "";

#########
######### Figure out what the shipping charge will be by

$ship_total = "7.50";

} elsif ($item_subtotal > "20.00" && $item_subtotal <= "50.00") {

$ship_total = "9.00";

} elsif ($item_subtotal > "50.00" && $item_subtotal <= "100.00") {

$ship_total = $item_subtotal * .18;

} elsif ($item_subtotal > "100.00" ) {

Thanks -- You are quick -- you have helped me so much!
what you sent is working fine: On the same note:
If I have multiple shipping options (custom) how do I add those to it? Here is what my client gave me to put in for him... if you could get me started I can do it....

Next Day Air: 1-2 business days
Product Total Shipping Charge
Up to $20 $15.00
$20.01 to $50.00 $17.00
$50.01 to $100.00 34% of product total
$100.01 and up 30% of product total
________________________________________________
Alaska & Hawaii
UPS 2nd Day Air: 2-3 business days
Product Total Shipping Charge
Up to $20 $13.00
$20.01 to $50.00 $13.00
$50.01 to $100.00 22% of product total
$100.01 and up 18% of product total

You're welcome. Adding in a second method is not tough - it is basically just duplicating all the variables and adding another radio button. In other words, you'll add $ship_total1 with the second value and $ship_meth_name1 for the second method's name, $ship_display1, etc. The second radio button should keep the same name as the first one (shipinfo-$shipid). Where it gets a bit tougher is making the second choice different for different states. It's certainly possible, it just takes a few more if statements. The destination state is available in the variable $fd_trackitem_shipstateprov - that's the key piece of information. Good luck!

logos · 02-13-2007 15:25:02

Could you put in for me a second shipping method so I can see where you put your duplicate information (Sorry, I am not a "coder" and am feeling my way through this...). Then I can go on that sample and add the other options that I have.

my $ship_display1 = "";

If I need to use this hack, where would I place the code?

rachaelseven · 11-16-2008 12:55:07

This is not a hack, it is just a custom shipping method. The code would be placed in the 'Perl Scripting' section of a custom shipping method configuration page in the CCP admin.

KimbofromKS · 11-16-2008 20:48:16

Thanks. I never liked that word "hack". What's a hack?

KimbofromKS · 11-17-2008 04:23:32

Ok. I found what your talking about and created a new custom shipping method and dropped your programming into it. I went into the product and picked custom and picked my new custom script. That product 159.95

I placed that item in shopping cart and began checkout process. On second screen it had one option to pick for shipping method: UPS Ground: 4-6 Days - $23.99. The box was checked and I proceeded to next screen.

Here it says Item subtotal 159.95 Shipping $4.00 Total 163.95 Where did I go wrong? Thanks.

rachaelseven · 11-17-2008 13:52:39

A 'hack' is generally thought of as an unauthorized or unsanctioned code modification... at least in these parts. Of course, there is also the nefarious usage of the term meaning to break into or take over a system, but it is the former (not criminal) usage of the word that you will find around here. I have written quite a few hacks and take no offense to the term... this just wasn't one of them, that's all :-)

As for your problem with the script, sounds like maybe you modified the price in the wrong place. If you post the contents of your script here, I'd be happy to help you debug it.

Kimbo · 11-18-2008 22:11:57

This should be the same as above (first one), as that is where it was copied from:

Code:

my $ship_meth_name = "UPS Ground: 4-6 Days";
my $ship_total = "0.00";
my $ship_display = "";

#########
######### Figure out what the shipping charge will be by
######### using if statements and less than/greater than

if ($item_subtotal >= "0" && $item_subtotal <= "20.00") {

$ship_total = "7.50";

} elsif ($item_subtotal > "20.00" && $item_subtotal <= "50.00") {

$ship_total = "9.00";

} elsif ($item_subtotal > "50.00" && $item_subtotal <= "100.00") {

$ship_total = $item_subtotal * .18;

} elsif ($item_subtotal > "100.00" ) {

$ship_total = $item_subtotal * .15;

} ######### End of if statement.

#########
######### Format the $ship_total as a price.
#########

$ship_total = sprintf("%.2f", $ship_total);
$ship_display = "$ship_meth_name - $currency_symbol$ship_total";

The problem is partially my fault here - I apologize. When I corrected the other person's script, I never changed the name of the shipping method (nor looked at it closely) and the shipping method names in CCP shipping scripts cannot have the colon character (:) in them. Change the name to something like "UPS Ground (4-6 Days)" or anything else without a colon, and it will work fine. I will update the original posts so that they don't cause problems for anyone else.

Kimbo · 11-19-2008 20:25:54

That worked! Your the best!
