Multiple Shipping Options-Product Based
This cart is totally new to me, and I'm having problems finding out where to specify that I want my customers to have four shipping options- Is this a custom script, or where can I say what the options are and indicate the costs?
Also, I want to charge a basic amount (say $10) for the first item and then a lesser amount for each subsequent item. How do I do that? Manage Shipping Settings only lets you specify one amount.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Sounds like a custom shipping script to me.

Re: Multiple Shipping Options-Product Based
I looked into creating a fourth Product Based Shipping Method.
ie. when managing Products - Product Based - Method 1 Name, Method 1 Price, etc.
That sounds like what you want to do as your first request.
It would involve creating extra fields in the appropriate tables to hold method four and its cost.
Also the code would have to be edited in many places to read and display the fourth method.
Just too much to keep track of for me so I abandoned the idea.
Your second request, diminishing extra cost.
I think that could be done in the checkout code with some If Else lines that determine how many pieces are in the order.
Use the forum Search for threads about making custom shipping costs using different rates per pound depending on the total weight. I copied the thread if you can't find it by searching.

Toni,
I tried 2 or 3 times to email you my CCP5 files, but evidently your email server is not working. When you are successfully receiving mail, let me know and I will forward you my help file. quint-j@msn.com.

Re: Multiple Shipping Options-Product Based
OK. I've been searching for an hour and can't find this anywhere.
How do we add additional Product Based Shipping methods?
I know basically what's involved, but had hoped to find the code from someone who's already done it!
We want to offer:
Local Delivery
UPS Ground
UPS 3 Day Select
UPS 2 Day Air
UPS Overnight
UPS Overnight w/ Sat. Delivery

Re: Multiple Shipping Options-Product Based
Submit a support quote request. This will involve expanding the product table and re-writing a lot of Perl code in the shipping module. Much too much to post here on the forum.

Re: Multiple Shipping Options-Product Based
Nick,
Would it be easier / cheaper to implement this as a custom shipping script? We would need something that could present shipping choices based on the box size used for shipping.
The logic would be something like this:
If product_shiplength EQ 19 & product_shipwidth EQ 10 & product_shipheight EQ 9
Show these Rates:
Ground: Free
3 Day: 10.95
2 Day: 15.95
Overnight: 24.95
Overnight w/ Sat: 34.95
and so on.
