USPS Shipping

[Guest loren antolik]

how can i offer my customers insurance through the usps shipping module ?

okay, after doing some research, insurance is an additional charge that cubecart does not consider. i am building my own code to calculate the insurance. this block of code calculates the insurance charge based on the order amount (subTotal). you can apply this insurance charge to the rates that are returned from the usps

$zip_dest = $basket["delInf"]["postcode"];

$countryName = countryName($basket['delInf']['country']);

if($api=="IntlRate") {

// get the config

$module = fetchDbConfig("USPSINT");

if ( $countryName == "Canada" ) {

if ( $subTotal <= 50 ) {

$insuranceCharge = 1.35;

} else if ( $subTotal <= 100 ) {

$insuranceCharge = 2.30;

} else if ( $subTotal <= 675 ){

$insuranceCharge = 2.30 + ( ( ( $subTotal - ( $subTotal % 100 ) ) / 100 ) * 1.05 );

} else {

$insuranceCharge = 8.60;

}

} else {

if ( $subTotal <= 50 ) {

$insuranceCharge = 1.95;

} else if ($subTotal <= 100 ) {

$insuranceCharge = 2.75;

} else {

$insuranceCharge = 2.75 + ( ( ( $subTotal - ( $subTotal % 100 ) ) / 100 ) * 1.05 );

}

}

} else {

// get the config

$module = fetchDbConfig("USPS");

if ( $subTotal <= 50 ) {

$insuranceCharge = 1.35;

} else if ($subTotal <= 100 ) {

$insuranceCharge = 2.30;

} else {

$insuranceCharge = 2.30 + ( ( ( $subTotal - ( $subTotal % 100 ) ) / 100 ) * 1.05 );

}

}

does this go into the calc.php? and are the customers able to choose to have insurance or not?, also for US, you would change the varible in the code?

sorry fo all the questions, this would be a good addition to the shipping end

This would make a great mod if the customer had the choice to take the insurance. Many customers do not like to be forced to purchase insurance.
