How to limit shipping options for customers based on weight etc.

[veral]

Hi all,

 

 

I have postage costs set by value (with numerous choices from economy to priority) set for customers to choose at the checkout stages.

How do I limit them so that if something is above a certain weight, they HAVE to choose the next option up?

 

My settings are similar to:

 

0.5:2.99,5.0:3.99,9999:9.99

0.5:5.99,5.0:10.99,10.0:12.99,20.0:15.99,9999:19.99

 

 

So the economy I'd want to stop at about 5.0 lbs (or whatever), and force them to choose the priority option... something like that anyway.

Ideally I'd want it limited by value - so all purchases above say $100 HAVE to go via priority...

 

 

Any clues or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

Thanks!

Hi

 

In the php file for city link in \includes\modules\shipping there is code to stop the option appearing if the3 wt is < 3kg

 

if ($total_weight < 3) { // If total ship weight is less than 3.00Kg do not show this shipping method

$this->enabled = false; // Anything under 3Kg its not economically wise to use this method (Royal Mail recommended)

} // To remove this 3.00Kg limit, simply delete these 3 lines

 

Guess this could be adapted.

 

Enjoy
