Hi,

I'm using ecommerce 5.x-3.4, with D5.3. I have a number of products, each with a unique shipping/delivery charge.

How do you set up so that (for example) product A costs £5 to deliver and product B costs £8 to deliver etc.

Thanks

Chris

Hi !

To solve this, you can create a custom Shipping charge with Flexicharge [1]. I think you can have many implementations for this question.

One example :

• Enable Flexicharge : this is a default ecommerce module
• Add a new Flexicharge argument for your products : Into ecommerce/contrib/flexicharge/providers/shipping.inc

the function shipping_flexicharge_attributes() is used to define arguments (like weight). Add a new custom argument like 'customtax' : $fields['customtax'] = array( '#type' => 'textfield', '#title' => t('Custom shipping Tax'), '#description' => t('The tax for this product', array()), '#default_value' => '', ); Now, you can specify for each product a value into this 'customtax'

• Create a custom Flexicharge method Into ecommerce/contrib/flexicharge/providers/ rename

the default file'custom.inc.example' as 'custom.inc'. The function general_custom_flexicharge_calculate() will be used to compute total amout for you custom charge. You can implement (for example) something like : function general_custom_flexicharge_calculate(&$txn, $misc, $total) { switch ($misc->operator) { case FLEXICHARGE_CHARGE: $customtax_total = 0; foreach ((array)$txn->items as $item) { $customtax_total += $item->flexicharge_methods['shipping']['customtax']; } return $customtax_total; } }

• Create a new charge from Drupal admin interface

e-Commerce configuration > Flexicharge

This is only a skeleton of answer, if this is not clear i can send you files for this example.
