olsonsp4c Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 This is the support forum topic for USPS Shipping Insurance which displays USPS shipping insurance rates on checkout_payment.php and allows for selection/deselecton of this option. It then adds the proper shipping insurance amount to the order total on checkout_confirmation.php. Please read all the installation notes before installing. This addon can be found here: Hope this serves the community.

crafterscafe Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) I have followed the instructions, checked everything twice, the files are in the correct directory - but there is no option in the admin / modules. the only thing that was different was my stylesheet was in the catalog directory. Please help! Never mind - after I walked away for a minute I realized what I did!!! Edited March 6, 2008 by crafterscafe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimm Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Nice addition! Thank you. I am having a problem getting the module to include sales tax in the calculation. Can you direct me to what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olsonsp4c Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 okay - I got into the insurance module- however, when I select priorty it is forcing express at checkout? This is not a problem with the insurance module, but with the shipping module. I've seen this on the USPS forums several times, please check there.

crafterscafe Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I figured it out. you need to change the order to put the insurance above the tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you direct me to what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance Kim Hi Kim, This is a shot in the dark with little info, but here it is... 1. Make sure that you have set the include tax option to True and click the update/save button (i know that is obvious) 2. Make sure that the sort order of the insurance module is AFTER the "Tax" in the order totals modules in the admin (per the instructions - see below) Sort Order? Set this to the order you want it to appear in the totals table. See how your Order Total Modules have a Sort Order? Well, I use Shipping as 3 and Shipping Insurance as 4. Be careful NOT to have two modules with the same order number. Note that ANY modules ordered after it, excluding shipping, will not be included in the total insured. Hope this is the solution for you.

No matter where I place it the sales tax is not getting calculated on the shipping insurance portion of the order total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennisra Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I added the code to the stylesheet but I can't seem to control the size of the text at checkout_payment. Anyone else have this problem. Any tips to fix this. Other than that seems to work great and this is a contribution that was really needed. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennisra Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I used the following in the stylesheet and it works fine now.

Dennisra Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 No, I didn't miss it. The instructions were there and correct. However, when I added that to the stylesheet I wanted to isolate it from other additions and be able to come back later and see what it was for and I erroneously added this: // USPS Insurance TD.tinyText, SPAN.tinyText, P.tinyText { font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 8px; } // USPS Insurance That didn't work for me but this did: /* USPS Insurance */ TD.tinyText, SPAN.tinyText, P.tinyText { font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 8px; } /* USPS Insurance */ Thanks again for the contribution. I have received a dozen orders since adding (none with PayPal yet) and it works great so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis It works for only 1 package per order, more than 1 package per order and it won't calculate properly because I don't know how to get the order_totals module to import the $shipping_num_boxes variable from includes/classes/shipping.php - also, I'd rather have it on the checkout_shipping.php page, but I can't figure out how to carry the variable through checkout_payment.php to checkout_confirmation.php Also, several people have reported tax issues, but I have not verified this personally. thanks!

Dennisra Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I understand. It works well for me as I only ship one package at a time and the tax calculation is working properly for me. I saw references to that but I am not required to collect tax for the shipping cost so it's just fine as is. In addition, it's very accurate. If you have the tare weight correct and the weight of the merchandise correct the shipping charges with insurance are 100% on the nose. Thanks again!

Dennisra Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 A major problem after receiving the first few orders paid by PayPal. The insurance charge is NOT added to the PayPal payment. So the order invoice shows they wanted insurance but they don't pay for it when using PayPal. What to do now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimm Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hey Scott, I think I may have found the reason that tax is not cal culated on the shipping insurance. I have CCGV(trad) loaded and I found the following code in checkout_confirmation: $payment_modules->update_status(); $order_total_modules = new order_total;// CCGV $order_total_modules->collect_posts();// CCGV $order_total_modules->pre_confirmation_check();// CCGV // Line edited for CCGV // if ( ( is_array($payment_modules->modules) && (sizeof($payment_modules->modules) > 1) && !is_object($$payment) ) || (is_object($$payment) && ($$payment->enabled == false)) ) { if ( (is_array($payment_modules->modules)) && (sizeof($payment_modules->modules) > 1) && (!is_object($$payment)) && (!$credit_covers) ) { tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PAYMENT, 'error_message=' . urlencode(ERROR_NO_PAYMENT_MODULE_SELECTED), 'SSL')); } if (is_array($payment_modules->modules)) { $payment_modules->pre_confirmation_check(); } // load the selected shipping module require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'shipping.php'); $shipping_modules = new shipping($shipping); $_SESSION['choose_insurance'] = $_POST[choose_insurance]; //USPS shipping insurance //Lines below repositioned for CCGV // require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'order_total.php'); // $order_total_modules = new order_total; It appears that the repositioned lines keep the shipping insurance from getting added into the order total. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I am a php dummy. TIA Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennisra Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 (Adding information for my PayPal problem posting above.) The variable for insurance needs to be added to the /ext/ipn.php as it is for shipping below in ipn.php. Or, shipping and insurance could be added together on the order_confirmation page and then the variable "shipping" would be fine. Would someone write the code for either of those? [sat Mar 15 17:13:10 2008] [error] PP TEST received POST variable: shipping : 1.98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
