Ecomas Energosystem Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Hello, I would like to know if there is a method of configurating an existing carrier module to charge by distance and weight. We sell materials and equipment for plumbing, only in one country which has 20 counties. The weight range of our products are between a few grams (like fittings) up to half a ton (like water tanks, boilers). Out carrier charges by weight and distance, more information about these steps bellow: - Weight: first kg = 5 Euros, every additional kg costs 1 Euro - Distance: The carrier ships in 20 counties, if the shipping destination is in a county capital city than they don't charge extra for the distance. If the shipping destination is not in a county capital city then they charge 1 Euro/km from the capital to the destination. Example: For a 2 kg package, to a destination that is 20 km from the nearest county capital, the shipping cost are: - Weight: 5 Euros + 1 Euro = 6 Euros - Distance: 20 Euros TOTAL: 26 EUROS I would like to know if there is a way I can modify a pre-installed module from prestahop 1.4.8 like UPS or other carrier module to create the above calculation formula. Can I add a drop down menu with the cities and counties in the checkout form, so our costumer can choose their shipping to the nearest capital city. In our prestashop backend we have pre-installed carriers that came by default:TNT Express, Canada Post Rates Calculator, Fedex Carriers, UPS Carriers, can i set this carrier up to charge for my particular situation. Thank you all, Looking forward for some answers Edited July 20, 2014 by ecomas (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBob Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Hi ecomas, I have a similar problem which I posted about here : http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/345015-shipping-costs-by-towns-within-the-same-country-help-required/?do=findComment&comment=1746223 I am a newbie so please don't take my answer as definitive but I suspect the answer to your question is "not natively in Prestashop" - but if you can use postal code to differentiate the various destinations then there are modules (which I haven't used) that may assist you. http://addons.prestashop.com/en/shipping-logistics-delivery-prestashop-modules/5711-shipping-fees-based-on-zipcodes.html or http://www.presto-changeo.com/en/shipping-modules/83-localized-shipping.html Perhaps one of these modules provides you with a solution - shipping by "City" - which is what I am looking for appears to be elusive / impossible. I hope you come right - good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
