kidsandt Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I was wondering if there is a way to calculate shipping based on total sales. There are three different breakdowns that I want. Please let me know if I need to install a module to do this or if I just am not seeing where to do this from the backend page on the shipping tab.

Patric Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 No, this is not possible.The shipping fee can only be based on price or weight ranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 It's not possible without modifying PrestaShop's code. I've written a hack here. It would be better if someone wrote a shipping module to add the option though. Hopefully, the new CarrierModule class in PrestaShop v1.4 will make that possible.

bernache Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Is it now possible to have the shipping cost based on percentage of total sale ? Is there any module doing that ? Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdunnett1 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) Hi everyone, (please note that this only works if you have a few items, otherwise very time consuming) The only way that I can think of doing this is go to your post office website, and pick a zip/postal code for each state/province (the furthest city/town away from you) get the postal rates for several weight ranges eg.) 1-3 kg and 0 - 100 grams (the weights that you most often ship or think you will ship). step 2 set up a spreadsheet with columns indicating the shipping level, the state/province and the various weights you tested. Then divide the shipping costs by the price of the item. Then make a gain/loss columns and do the math. It worked for me and you can put in a price range. step 3 input these amounts into your spreadsheet. step 4: set up all the necessary weight ranges and prices in presta shop. Unfortunately, this is not the best solution, but the best that I could come up with to use percentage based shipping. You should come out even on the shipping costs most of the time if you are trying to match what you pay for your customers Eg. price on canada post website =15.96 (regular, and expidited) price on canada post website = 23.04 (xpresspost) percentage = 15.96/40 = 39.9 Edited September 26, 2013 by jdunnett1 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
