Guest Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 We have the shopping cart installed and it works great except for the addon module for support. We can never get an answer for that one. This question is about different zones and upselling though. We have broken it down to 4 areas. 1) We need to be able to set different shipping zones by country and prices accordingly as well as different tax zones and vat based on where the items are being shipped and weight of item. 2) We also need to be able to upsell a product when the user adds a product to their shopping cart. For instance they add Widget #1 to their cart and on the next screen they are informed that Widget #6 has been purchased by others that purchased Widget #1. Or that we recommend that they purchase Widget #6 to go with Widget #1. They would then be able to add Widget #6 to their cart before continuing to check out. 3) We need the user be forced to add comments to explain how they are going to be using the items they are purchasing before they can continue to check out. 4) We need to be able to add options attributes to the items that are being ordered. Can this all be acheived with the default installation of the cart? If not, are there mods here anywhere that will enable us to do this? This is not something that we need for our own use. The cart does everything we need it for, but we have a customer that needs a cart that will have these functions. Any help with this would be much apprecaited :D
TerryK Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 I haven't done anything with upselling, so I can't help you with that, but I utilized five different shipping methods on my site, using the following: - Combination of zones.php (found in /catalog/includes/modules/shipping) and provinces.php (contribution based on state region shipping) to ship to three separate regions in Canada. Duplicated/renamed the contribution to create a separate shipping charge for priority mail for the same three zones. - Table-based shipping to ship to the US (all in the same zone). - Duplicated/renamed table.php for shipping overseas by airmail. - Duplicated/renamed table.php for shipping overseas by surface mail.

Guest Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 Thanks Terry, I think this will help in some of the things we need. We found a lot of mods in the contribs section and will be trying them out as well. The main things right now is finding a way to add zones for Canada, Europe (especially Germany) for shipping. I think we may have found it but still need to upload and test it. After that, the most inportant thing is forcing the customer to fill out a comment box to explain what they will be using the product for. The seller says that that he wants to make sure that the buyer is buying the right product before he completes the order. I think we have downloaded about 100 of the contribs for testing to see what works for what we need it to do :blink:
