Hi,

Hopefully someone has ran into this issue before. We're stumped. I'll do my best to explain.

We're selling fireworks as well as special effects. For shipping purposes, the fireworks must have a an extra charge ($39) applied to the package. The extra charge will not be on the special effects.

The $39 surcharge can only be applied 1 time to an order that includes fireworks.

Basically, there's a 1 time $39 charge that applies to orders with fireworks be it 1 or 50.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,

Quinn

We have a flag at the product level in www.cannonfuse.com which indicates that the product is fireworks or fuse. That flag triggers all sorts of stuff such as a special message on the shipping label. A similar flag could be introduced to your store, and then a mod would need to look for the presence of any such item in the cart, then throw the $39 into the cart. I'd probably do that on viewcart.asp.
