Individual product shipping options

Now that I've got fedex real time shipping set up, my customer wants to know if different products can have different shipping methods.

For example, let's say that someone orders something perishable and something non-.  Can the perishable be assigned fedex overnight, while the non-perishable go via a slower, cheaper method?

Re: Individual product shipping options

In a word, No.  That would take a VERY significant rewrite of the code.  If you absolute must have something like that, your only option would be a bespoke mod - try contacting Stephen at cartmod.com if that's something you need to do.

Re: Individual product shipping options

Not directly 5.1 related but a custom shipping method in CCP version 6 would give you this ability.

I didn't think it was possible (or even reasonable, if we're being honest...), but I told her I'd ask.  Thanks for the help!

Re: Individual product shipping options

Followup question...

When using the real-time shipping method, the shipping price is displayed with the shipper's logo and the official name of the shipping method.  Is there a way to suppress this?  One possible solution to my problem would be to ship via 2-day air, and simply raise the price of the perishable items to cover the cost of shipping overnight.  But if we tell the customer that it'll be shipped overnight and during checkout it says "Fedex 2-day air" ...

Re: Individual product shipping options

You can change the name of the shipping methods in the CCP admin, although I suspect that will violate the terms of use agreement on the shipper's rate calculator.  Removing the logo could be done with code changes, but that definitely violates the terms of use, so you won't be able to get any help with that through official Kryptronic channels.
