Can osCommerce do this?

[remarksdk]

I am starting a shop, that offers products to customers in two different countries.

 

The two countries has different taxes, and different shipping costs.

 

Can osCommerce handle two different setups like that?

 

As I see it, you can only select one tax-class on each product... does this mean that I cant use OSC for my purposes?

 

Thank you, in advance

you can only select one tax-class for each product, but that tax-class can have different rates for different states and countries. as for the shipping, i believe you can use the "zone rates" module to set different shipping costs for each country, or you can use a module that get rates automatically like UPS.

I have created 2 tax-rates now.

 

One for a zone called Denmark, and one for at zone called Norway.

 

But when I log in as a Norwegian customer it says "danish tax + norwegian tax" when I checkout.

 

My rates have different priorities.

 

Am I doing something wrong?

Oh I get it now

Oh I get it now

 

good, because its been so long since i have bothered with shipping and taxes i don't know if i get it anymore.

I am sorry - but I have to ask you again :-)

 

Now the tax works as I want it to.

 

But the shipping...hmmm...

 

I would like to make it work like this:

 

1. All customers from norway pay 1000 danish kroner for the shipping

2. All customers from denmark pay 500 danish kroner for the shipping

 

Is it possible to setup osc to do that?

i thought the "zone rates" shipping module would work but after i looked at it, i can't find a way to set different price for different countries.

 

i don't know how to do this. my shop just uses the united states postal service module so i don't have to mess with any shipping rates. my only idea is to search the add-ons area to find a contribution that you can install that might solve your problem.

this link leads to a add-on that might allow you to set a separate price for each country, but i don't know for sure.

Use the zone rate module - around line 38 - last of these:

global $order, $total_weight;
     $this->code = 'rmspecial';
     $this->title = MODULE_SHIPPING_RMSPECIAL_TEXT_TITLE;
     $this->description = MODULE_SHIPPING_RMSPECIAL_TEXT_DESCRIPTION;
     $this->sort_order = MODULE_SHIPPING_RMSPECIAL_SORT_ORDER;
     $this->icon = DIR_WS_ICONS . 'shipping_rmukspec.gif'; // upload icon to catalog/images/icon directory
     $this->tax_class = MODULE_SHIPPING_RMSPECIAL_TAX_CLASS;
     $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_RMSPECIAL_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
     $this->num_zones = 1;

 

change the num_zones to 2(in your case) then go to admin>>configuration>>shipping/packaging and change data to match this:

 

Enter the Maximum Package Weight you will ship 25000 (you can set this to the maximum weight you will ship - must have a positive number greater than your max weight though)

Package Tare weight. 0

Larger packages - percentage increase. 0

 

Next go to admin>>modules>>shipping and install the zone rate module and then click edit set following:

 

first zone:

 

ISO Country Code

DK

 

Delivery Rates

1:500 (1 kilo = 500 krona)

 

then to the second zone:

 

ISO Country Code

NO

 

Delivery Rates

1:1000 (1 kilo = 1000 krona)

 

You can set the rates as you want, you can have multiple weights/cost: 1:1000,2:2000,6:5000

 

don't forget to enter a weight into each product - even if it's only a token weight
