Shipping based on category

[idlerob]

I have 3 main categorys with many sub-catagorys. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way that the postage costs could be based on the category the product is in. In other words i have 3 different types of products and want them to have different postage costs.

 

thanks in advance

I have exactly the same problem. I looked through the different modules and none seemed to be offering this functionality. Maybe it is possible but I can't figure it myself right now.

 

Any ideas?

No this is proving to be impossible. Ive been trying to find a solution for months and now its the time when its crucial or i have to tell our client they need to change their postage solutions. Ive tried finding help but no one seems to know an answer for this. Im sure it must be possible and not to difficult to implement i just dotn have the php knowledge to have a go at it myself.

You come anywhere close to finding the solution??

 

 

thanks, rob

well, it all depends on what you mean with postage costs per category.

 

if it is 1 shipping cost per category then it is easy.

if you want different table rates per category then it would be more difficult.

I would like to be able to use the first rate plus additional items and zones shipping contribution but have this different for each main category

Hello, I've been searching for this too. Does anyone have any advice please? I've looked right through the forum and contributions but to no avail.

 

Thanks
