Automatic shipping price by grams

[Orwa]

Hello,

I am using PS 1.6, I've created my 5 shipping zones and all set up, my shipping carrier charges me 0.0148$ per gram, it is really painful to create weight range for every gram until I get 10.000 grams (10kgs), especially that rate different for each of my 5 zones, what is the possible way to automatically let Prestashop calculates the product grams and x it with the selected zone shipping price? Thank you very much

Basically you have two options.

One would be to add those 50,000 entries. Sounds like a lot of work but it is very easy to automate once you check out how it is organized in the database. The risk is that it might make your system a bit slower. You should test for that and consider adding database indexes.

The other would be a custom module. But I am not sure whether such a module already exists and how easy it would be to make. But you can mail a few companies for an offer.

I will instead take a module which is prepared to serve the carrier you are using. Since you didn't mentioned which carrier it is, you can try to search on Prestashop addons for that: http://addons.prestashop.com/

There are modules for USPS, DHL, etc. available.
