Peter_Jansen Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hello, I have a problem with the shipping in Prestashop. I saw that you can configure your shipping price based on weight and total price, but how can you define it by the package width? My supplier charges the shipping price based on the width of the package. Also I have 3 different types of the same product that that for each type the shipping price also differs. The last thing is to configure the price for Germany, Europe and International... Anyone can help me with this? I would appreciate it, thanks!

Dave L Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I'm just thinking out loud here and have no examples to base it on, but at the end of the day 'weight' is just a label. I'm thinking you could rename this to 'width'. You can change this label (name) in Tools>Translations>Back Office Translations and change kg to cm or inches or whatever in Preferences>Localizations. Your weight range would become your width ranges where you could set up a dimensional range. Not sure if it would work or not, as I said, just thinking out loud.

Peter_Jansen Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Thanks for your answer, I had that in mind too... As far as I understood the shipping system of Prestashop, it only sets the shipping price for those 2 attributes ( weight & total price ) in general for all products in the shop, but I have 3 different products that the shipping price differs... How can I set that in the Shipping area? I looked everywhere but you can only set up the zones,countries etc... The only solution I can think of would be to set custom attributes for each of those 3 different products. Those attributes would define the shipping price and the zone ( Germany, Europe, International ). The only problem is, that it would show in the card 0,00 for the shipping price, the shipping price would be added to the product price... it would look not very serious for customers . Also it's a complicated way, maybe there is a much easier solution? Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
