Selling per kilo: cart does not add properly

[ALEXCNX]

Hello There,

 

I am running into a little problem with shipping. I have looked around the forum and tried a few suggestions but to no avail. I may have not understood how shipping works with Prestashop.

 

===

 

I sell products by kilo and I ship to 77 states. Each state has a different shipping cost per kilo.

 

Say in 1 state 1 product costs $1 to ship.

 

I add 1 unit of this product to the cart, shipping cost is $1 = great!

 

I add one more unit of this product and shipping cost is still $1 = it should be $2!

 

I am aware that I can add ranges with specific cost (from 1 to 2 Kg, from 2 to 3 etc). However, I sell up to 1000 kilos per product. It seems it’s going to take me 16 years to enter shipping cost this way.

 

===

 

Could someone advise me how to do this, or even points me to a module?

 

Thanks in advance,

You should add the ranges accordingly. 1 kg = 1$, 2 kg=2$, 3 kg=3$.

Thanks for your prompt reply!

 

I ship to 77 states and up to 1000 kilos. So that would be 77000 data to enter manually?

 

Is there any other way, or a module perhaps?

 

Thanks!

Not that I know, but you can take a look into Prestashop addons. For free I think you will find nothing...

I'm good with purchasing a module if that does the job quickly. I guess this could be also uploaded via MySQL.

 

Anyway, thanks for your replies.
