Our products include shipping in continental usa. If we ship to Canada, it is an additional $7. Can i add a field, and if checked, charges them this amount. Or can it detect it from country field?

Help but thanks for taking anytime to help!

Hi, Without any information on your current shipping set-up it's difficult to provide specific advice, however http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/productcart/shipping-custom_shipping_options#domestic_vs_international_customers - http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/productcart/shipping-custom_shipping_options#domestic_vs_international_customers
may help. You are talking about a "handling fee" which can be added - see later on that same page.

Actually

Shipping is FREE unless it is Canada - then it is $7 additionl... so we have no shipping setup since we dont charge for shipping

Hi,
In that case the info on the WIKI should cover it OK.

You need to add the provinces to make it work. Here is a list:

Go to Setting, Manage States, you may only have to activate them. If not add them.

Could it be that you did not select the right shipping option. I know over 4 pounds it needs to be Priority Mail International, or it will show shipping to be determined. This would charge the service charge in addition to the actual shipping cost. Also get the shipping patch they have issued. It will fix the problem of not showing any rates either.

If you only charge a flat rate of 7 dollars regardless of weight or actual shipping you may opt for custom shipping option under the shipping service screen. Just use flat rate based on order amount. You can set the max to 1 million so you cover all. And then select international only. This will not check for country but apply it to all international countries. It will work if you only accept order from the USA and Canada. For that you need to go to settings and manage countries.
