V. 1.4 - Shipping & Carrier Configuration


Recommended Posts

Issue #1...
I've uploaded the USPS module, and it's configured on the Production Server. Now, when I test my site, I get the following error when checking out...



Choose your delivery method

There are no carriers available that deliver to this address.



Then, right below it, is showing this message...



Choose your payment method

Error: please choose a carrier



Issue #2...
I think I've done everything necessary for shipping, but when I "Add to Cart", the shipping cost doesn't show. I want to be able to charge $7.00 for all products. This is going to be through USPS, for Flat Rate Priority Shipping. I'm including the cost of a tracking# and packing materials... should come out to about $7.00...

How do I configure the shipping for $7.00 for everything purchased from the store.

The URL is www.pamelagrace.net/prestashop, please feel free to look at it and test yourselves. Thank you much!!

The USPS module is set to calculate the actual rates based on weight or dimensions based on what you put as a zip code.. no zip it can not caculate, hence the error, and what you put as a carrier.. the module connects to USPS.com to get rates and searches by sending from zip and sending to zip.. if not logged in or no address entered you will get that error.. you can change the text in translations to :"You must enter a valid address to caculate shipping" but ..

You have some options here.. you could do actual cost and add your padding costs in "handleing fees" and this is done in the back office under the shipping tab.. just put the handling there.. to know your never getting stuck with shipping costs out of pockect or...

You can just create a new carrier, under shipping tab then >carriers section under tab.. create a new USPS priority mail, put in your logo and then go to weight ranges and put in 0-10,000lbs for that carrier, then go to back to just the shipping tab page and at the bottom select the carrier you created, enter the $7.00 there and then delete all the other carriers. This way the only one that will come up is the $7.00 shipping cost you created. Be sure in preferences you set it to calculate shipping based on weight so you wont get that error.

You really dont even need the USPS module if that is what your doing a flat cost for everything at $7.00 the standard prestashop package has that shipping ability in it.
