Hi guys,

I'm thinking of offering my customers free shipping above a certain order value. I currently run a custom complex (to me) shipping script which calculates shipping cost by weight, destination and order value, forcing an insured postal service if the order is valuable.

I can't see any way to do this without completely rewriting the script (not something I want to do again!), I would also need to give the customer the option of upgrading to a faster, tracked or insured postal service over and above the free shipping option. This is getting proper messy for an amateur like me.

Are there any example scripts of this type or any function within CCP6 that I can use in conjunction with my existing custom script? I suspect I'm grasping at straws and a full ship script rewrite will be required :-(

Thanks and regards

RobH

It's probably not as much work as you think Rob especially if you already have a functioning shipping script that works the way you want it. If you simply want the free option and additional faster options if orders are over a certain value you could likely add that logic early in the existing program and bypass the majority of it in that case. Of course that's a guess since we don't know what you have now

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your input, I gave this some serious thought and you're correct, with logic applied it isn't a major problem!

Thanks and regards,
RobH
