This new shipping module has support for separate shipping per individual products,per category, and all products. It also has the options to ship based on price, qty, or weight of the products! :thumbsup: This will be the future support forum for this addon. Right now it is in the beta stage as the per category needs a little more work, but should take no longer than a week or two to sort it out!
Why build such a module?
I noticed a lot of discusions in the forums for such a module and thought it would be good practice for me to develope this module from scratch so to speek. And a big thankyou goes out to Brett for his interest in a module and a willing test subject for the beta!
What doesn't it do?
This module doesn't currently have support for separate zone shipping. So say your in europe and want to give all of customers in europe free shipping but charge shipping for the rest of the world, you can't do it with this module yet ;)
What is it capible of?
it is capable of shipping per individual products with seperate prices! for example product1 has a shipping rate of $20 product2 has a shipping rate of $10 and still another product has a shipping rate of free. Assuming you have 1 product of each in our shopping cart my module calculates shipping by qty $30 not $90 by weight it calculates this by dividing the total weight in the cart by your max weight and then multiplying that by the rate you have set up per product! It is fully customizable just needs time. So tell me what you think and if you want a beta!
Almost forgot this module is only developed with OsCommerce v2.2 in mind I don't know how well it will work with v2.3.1 or above
