eShop works great but shipping by weight difficult

  • Installed and running with ease, great plugin.

    The only issue I had was configuring shipping rates.

    My problem using method 4, shipping by weight:

    If I select shipping by country, my own country local/state/province rates are not applied which they must with method 4. All the countries outside of my own have correct shipping amount applied.

    If I select the only other option: shipping by state/county/province, then my domestic shipping rates are applied correctly but the international shipping rates – each country – $0 shipping is applied.

    Can you include an easy option of applying the state/county/province rates if the business location country is selected at checkout, otherwise apply country rates?

    I have made a work around with a couple of if statements in checkout.php, but these are overwritten with your recent update.

    Only other suggestion is the documentation could be more detailed and explanatory regarding shipping international/local rates and how they are applied.

    All in all a great plugin and very pleased.

    That was not touched in this update, and has been working ok for some time so far as I know.

    When setting up the shipping you set up one for by country, and another for state/county/province, and it is the shipping address that decides which is actually used – so when testing are you sure you changed things there?

    Thanks for replying – how do I apply two shipping rates?

    I can only set shipping by country or shipping by state/county/province??

    I have assigned state/county/province zones for my country which apply correctly when I set method 4 -> shipping by state/county/province, but other countries return $0 shipping.

    If I set method 4 -> shipping by country, all countries return a shipping value except my for my own country, which returns only the value for the zone my country is set to, ignoring the state/county/province settings.

    Clarification on previous post = which ever shipping method (country or state/county/province) is visible at the weights-zones table is the only method applied at checkout.

    If I leave the checkout shipping state field blank or select not applicable (with state/county/province table active) the state is taken from the billing address and applied to shipping regardless of which shipping country is selected.

    using shipping method 4 there is a separate shipping table per each Shipping Modes (by weight) – 1 mode per line and each one can have a Shipping Zones by set (ie either Country or state/province/county). This appears at the top of that modes shipping table.

    Thanks Rich, I apologise if these are basic questions.

    I now have the two tables, one for international shipping and one for domestic shipping.

    The user is now presented with a choice of which shipping table to apply by radio button selection. This user selection is applied to the shopping cart shipping rate, regardless of shipping country.

    Is there a setting I am missing that causes the shipping table selection to be determined by the shipping country rather than user choice by radio button?

    If I select the International Shipping radio button (or forget – international is the default), and my business location country is set as the shipping country, then the shipping returns $0.

    If I choose the Domestic Shipping radio button and another country is set as the shipping country, then the state value is grabbed from the billing address (or an error if “not applicable” is selected here) and this is applied to the domestic shipping rate table. The international shipping table is not used even though a country other than my business location country is set as the shipping country.

    you have to rely on the customer choosing the correct shipping mode.

    That is a major gap to leave in an e-commerce solution.

    not really, you have to right to not fulfill any order placed.
