Declared value of package for FedEx?
Is there a way to add a declared value to the shipping cost of a package? Most of our products are pretty pricey and it's beneficial for both parties to have insurance on them.

You could likely mod {private}/apps/ecom/ECOM_Ship/ext/fedex.php to get the declared value into the rate submission. I'm not sure what the syntax would be, but FedEx I'm sure has documented it on their site.

Re: Declared value of package for FedEx?
I'm trying to grab the documentation for shipping rates from FedEx and I see two options available- Rates and Rates Available Services. Any idea which of the two I should be looking at?

Re: Declared value of package for FedEx?
Here's a custom script that uses FedEx and adds $10 to every service:
Code:
<?php
$info = $this->globals('ecom.customship');
$custom = array();
$upcharge = 10;
$delinfo = array('stateprov' => $info['stateprov'],
'country' => $info['country'],
'postalcode' => $info['postalcode'],
'rescom' => $info['rescom'],
'shipstateprov' => $info['shipstateprov'],
'shipcountry' => $info['shipcountry'],
'shipzip' => $info['shipzip'],
'shipmethods' => 'FEDEX',
'shiptype' => 'R');
$result = $this->include_namespace('ecom','shiprealtime',array('delinfo' => $delinfo,
'packages' => $info['packages']));
foreach ($result as $num => $service) {
$custom[$service['name']] = $service['amount'] + $upcharge;
} // End of foreach statement.
$this->globals('ecom.customship_response',$custom);

Correct. Set this up as a custom shipping method, assign all products to use custom shipping and select the new script as a custom shipping script, then test after deleting all items from your cart and adding items with the new parameters.

Hmm tried it again and it's still giving me the default $40 amount I set for when the shipping doesn't calculate correctly.
I have the shipping method set to that on two of the products (it was quicker than popping the entire prod table into excel and mass-changing it) and neither one is calculating at all. Just defaulting to $40.
Cleared my shopping cart and all that.

Have you set up your FedEx connection? Are you sure it's accurate and working? Ie. - test using FedEx as a realtime method without the custom shipping script.

Re: Declared value of package for FedEx?
The Fedex upcharge script in the 8/13/13 post works for me.
Can you tell me how to modify it so that, instead of adding a set amount ($10 in your example), it adds a certain percentage of the product value, for example 2% of the item subtotal?
TIA,
Nathan
