Guest Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Hello, Is it possible to only allow sales in a very local area...... Say for instance in my county and the surrounding counties? I know it sounds really weird but the products to be sold are also Installed and we can only go so far for installing...... Also I need to know how to add a new required feild to the creat account process.... as I need to be able to run credit checks....... I would very much appreciate any help possible.....

Guest Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 i am not that familiar with that area, however if you do just that (create a backup of your database first) then create a user from outside that zone and see if it wil allow you to ship to that user . . .

Guest Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Hrm...I don't have a solution, but maybe this will help. I also deliver products to a very limited area. Customers outside of that area have to pay for shipping. My solution was to create a new zone for those customers who I would deliver to. I went into the files where the customers are assigned their zones (I believe there are four - create_account.php, address_book_process.php...I don't remember the others) and added this: if ($postcode<=76210 && $postcode>=76201){ $zone_id=183; } This assigns all customers with zip codes from 76201 to 76210 to the zone 183, which is the zone I created for local customers. I then set up the Flat Rate shipping option, limited it to zone 183 and renamed it "Local Delivery." So, for your situation, I would use a similar "if" statement. You could do if ($city=yourcity) or use any variety of zip code combinations. Then install only one shipping module, limit it to your local zone and you're good to go for customers inside the zone. I don't know what happens though if a customer from outside the zone tries to place an order and has no shipping options...will it let him complete his order or not?
