alexafuentes Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hello everybody! I'm having an issue I just don't know how to solve. Turns out than since the fees my courier charges vary depending on distance, weight and measures of the product I can't add a single fee to my shipping options. Therefore I thought maybe I could add an input text field in the shopping cart, so the client could enter the amount he has to pay for shipping. And this amount should be added to his bill, so when he chooses the Paypal payment method it appears there. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rseigel Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 What motivation would customers have to enter the correct amount for shipping and how would they even determine that themselves? Just some thoughts..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexafuentes Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Well, we would get in contact with them first and we would be in charge to get the info with the courier. We would give them the fee so they could put it there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 What carrier are you using? Do they have a web api? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexafuentes Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 It's a local carrier. They don't have a web api. Having an input field it's the only solution I came up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Well having the field is not a problem, it is getting it to add to the total price and charge to paypal. It sounds like you are only shipping to a limited area. If it were me I would buy the localized shipping module from presto-changeo http://www.presto-changeo.com/en/shipping-modules/83-localized-shipping.html then you can basically copy their rate structure in by hand. So that every zip code charges a different amount per weight or size of the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexafuentes Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Well, we are shipping to different cities of our country, not outside. The courier charges according to distance, weight, and measures so it varies a lot. I guess that would be a problem to do the math with the billing and paypal.
