Shipping charge per item, plus one time charge for priority -how to set up in cart?by Jahan - Member - 09:02PM, Nov 10, 2006 |

Hi everyone: Thanks for helping out with my first two questions – excellent job! One more thing, though (rather urgent): The cart I’m setting up, only processes up to 9 items per order. I am trying to set up the cart to charge shipping/handling fee thusly: $3.00 per item. To achieve that, I made each product have a weight of 1 lb. Hence, if a customer orders three products, he’ll be charged 3($3.00)=$9.00 However, if a customer wants priority shipping, a $5.00 priority shipping charge should apply to the entire order, in addition to the $3.00 charge per item. Hence I put a range of weight equaling 1-9 lbs, incurs a charge of $5.00 But here’s the problem: A customer may choose priority shipping alone on a single item (or more). How do I make the cart apply the basic $3.00 charge per item, as well as the $5.00 charge per item, in this case? As it is, the standard and priority shipping are separate categories, and selecting priority shipping invokes the $5.00 for 1-9 lb range, without adding $3.00 per item. Thanks in advance to anyone who can crack this problem, -Jahan |

So to rephrase this, the priority shipping should charge: $5.00 per whole order (1-9 items), plus $3.00 per item. Example: 4 items are purchased in one order, and priority shipping is chosen.The shipping cost should be $5.00 + 4($3.00) = $17.00 Is there a way to make the cart do this? -Jahan

My solution isn’t elegant, but its the only one I came up with: I enter a separate shipping rate for each weight (translated as number of items, not real weight): Priority Shipping: lbs (no. of items) rate_______ 0.0 – 1.0 1(3) + 5 = 8.00 etc., all the way up till 9 items. Admittedly not elegant, but I had to use something quick. Anyone with a more elegant solution, please let me hear it! -Jahan
