Guest Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 hello, I've searched the forums for this one, but couldn't find sufficient info. Hope, you can guys help me out with it. I want to adjust shipping rates to 5 zones: 1/Poland, 2/Europe, 3/Americas, 4/Asia&Africa, 5/Australia&Oceania. The shipping rates will be calculated upon the weight of the package. Now, I'd like to set different shipping rates for each of the aforementioned zones. So that the shopping cart identifies the country (from the shipping address provided by a customer) and adjusts correct shipping rate according to the weight. I guess, this can be done by using 'Zone Rates' but I just can't edit it properly. I know, I can enter ISO(2) codes for each country belonging to each zone, but how do I classify them in zones and how do I add more zones there? There's a defaul zone 1 with US and CA but how to add more of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefs.42 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Go to Locations/Taxes->Tax Zones, then below the listed zones click on Insert. To the right a new box will display where you can enter the new zone information (ie. Name: Zone1, Description: Poland). To add countries just select the zone and click Details. this will give you a list of all the countries/zones in this particular Zone class. Use the Insert button to add new countries/areas to your zone. Generally All Zones will be fine for each country, unless you need different shipping rates for different areas of the same country. I used this procedure, then copied the table module a couple times to have one for each Zone. You may want to look up some shipping contributions to handle this though. MultiZone Shipping, mutliple table shipping, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MultiZone Shipping, mutliple table shipping, etc... Hi, I am trying for the same thing except I just want to ship to the different zones within the US. I tried adding Zone 1, Zone 2 etc under Zones. So it goes Country-- United States Zone -- Zone 1, Code -- CA, NV. I made 6 zones, and they are not showing up under the table rates shipping. What do you mean that you copied the module? How do you do that and how do you insert that into your template? Or would a contribution work better? Im pretty much a newbie at all this. Just trying to get my shop online in time for xmas. Any help would be appreciated. I have spent the last 3 months knocking my head against a wall trying to get this al together.

jneves Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 There's a defaul zone 1 with US and CA but how to add more of them? You need to edit includes/modules/shipping/zones.php - the variable is $this->num_zones. Check the usage instructions at the top of the file.

Check the usage instructions at the top of the file. Hi I have tried to follow this through by adding a second zone but I get the following error in my store: Warning: constant(): Couldn't find constant MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_COUNTRIES_2 in /homepages/35/d147242810/htdocs/catalog/includes/modules/shipping/zones.php on line 123 Also, within Admin, Modules, Shipping, Zone Rates, 3 additional boxes come up, when I enter my details ie GB 3:8.50,7:10.50 0 and then update, when I open again the fields are blank. Appreciate any advice. Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jneves Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I hit the same snag. You need to disable the module and then reenable it after editing the number of zones. Copy your shipping info somewhere before. It WILL be LOST in this operation.

Steven Barkess Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Cool. How do I disable the module? Ah, dont worry, think i figured it out. Removed it, changed file, then installed. Thanks Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
