Zone Rates for shipping

[Jason]

Can anyone tell me how to set up multiple zones for shipping costs. I would like to charge a different rate for each continent... I can only get Zone 1, fill it with the country codes and the cost. How do I define zone 2 and the countries that go in it (and the cost)?

 

Thanks

Find includes - modules - shipping

 

find zones.php

 

find this near the top

 

// class constructor

function zones() {

$this->code = 'zones';

$this->title = MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_TITLE;

$this->description = MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_DESCRIPTION;

$this->icon = '';

$this->enabled = MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_STATUS;

 

// CUSTOMIZE THIS SETTING FOR THE NUMBER OF ZONES NEEDED

$this->num_zones = 1;

 

change the line:

$this->num_zones = 1;

 

to how many zones you want - ie:

$this->num_zones = 4;

 

Save it then go into admin disable and then renable the zone. You should then see more zones!

 

This will give you multiple zones but if you need help wih creating new SETs of zones ie for different tarrifs such as airmail / courier then post again and ill take you through adding multi tarrif zones Or if you need to know how to give them different descriptions in checkout etc etc

 

Kind regards,

Could this be modified for Multiple Vendors from Multiple Countries?

 

Like, Vendor A from Ohio could have their own zones, but Vendor B from England could set up a different set of zones for themselves.

 

Thanks :)

Graham, thanks for this helpful post.

 

I'd love more information on descriptions for checkout, if you've got the time to respond. This is exactly what I'm looking for.

 

Thanks so much.
