Shipping / Payment combo problem


John Pagan

Recommended Posts

Hard to describe this one, so bear with me!

 

I'm a Uk Based store, shipping items to UK, Europe and Rest of World. 3 zones. So I installed a Zone Based Internal Rates contribution, which works fine.

 

My payment modules for Paypal, Nochex etc, also work fine. But - they appear as options for All zones, I want to be able to make Nochex UK specific, ditto with some other modules.

 

This Should be easy, as in the Admin for the payment options, you can choose a Zone for the method to apply to from a Drop Down menu. But... there's nothing there to select!

 

For some reason, the payment modules can't see the 3 zones set up in my Shipping Module.

 

Is this due to me having all other pre-installed shipping modules turned off (including the basic 1 zone rate option)? So somehow some piece of info is missing somewhere?

 

It isn't actually effecting the Working of the Shipping zones though, the store is working fine, as far as I can tell. It's just a niggly little thing that I really don't want overseas customers being presented with payment options they can't actually use.

 

Any advice?

Ah! Just as I post, the problem changes on me!

 

The payment modules get their Zones from the Localisation section - Tax Zones. But I have no idea how the Tax Zones work - so hadn't done any.

 

It makes sense I see to have it this way, as Shipping location can be different to the location payment is being made, hence base it on the Tax Zone.

 

I realise this problem is now kinda out of place in the Shipping section, but I'm here now, so...

 

How do these Tax Zones work then? You appear to be able to Enter a Zone name and Description, then you can go into rates and set a Rate for that Zone. All very complex I'm sure, and not something I need to do at all. I just want to be able to set certain payment modules to be active only in the UK... hmmm....

Wish I knew how to delete posts off here... :)

 

After doing some searching on my new found problem of Tax Zones, I've got it cracked.

 

2 Tax Zones, UK and Rest of World, both set to not actually Charge any tax, but they give me the options I need to control the Payment modules!

 

Hurrah for OS Forums!
