I have just modified product cart to allow shipping prices to be defined at a product level. There are three fields for Ground, Second-Day, and Next-Day, but more could be added as needed.

Changes to the pricing can be made on a per product level, or by using the "Global Changes" page in the control panel. This also works for BTO products if you have purchased that add-on.

We had to implement this because we have complicated shipping needs. For example, we offer free ground shipping on certain products only and we ship from multiple locations (including drop-shipping) based on the product. A customer could order "product A" which would ship from our office and "product B" which would be drop-shipped. Since we do not want to eat the shipping cost in this scenario, we need this mod.

If anyone is interested in this modification contact me at jcook AT doxtek DOT com and I'll be happy to send out some pricing information.

Hi Gordo,

I would love to know a bit more about your mod. Is the actual shipping price defined at product level or is it the different shipping services that can be diplayed at checkout.

I am wondering how it would handle a cart of multiple products shipped from different drop shippers ?

Thanks

Hi Gordo,
You can add info about your mod to the wiki - That way it can be found more easily in the future.

Hi Matt,

If you are interested in calculating shipping costs from different drop shippers we have just released an Add-on which allows you to calculate shipping from the drop shipper's location.

You can find it by going to this page: http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/widgets/thirdparty/calculate_shipping_from_drop_shipper - http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/widgets/thirdparty/calculate_shipping_from_drop_shipper . There is an example here and quite a bit of information. It is available for all builds, version 3.51 and above.

See EI's blog piece about it here: http://blog.earlyimpact.com/2010/04/calculating-shipping-charges-when.html - http://blog.earlyimpact.com/2010/04/calculating-shipping-charges-when.html .
