Shipping by Price

[Guest icedt]

I am trying to creating shipping rates based on various item prices. For example if the item costs between $0.01 and $49.99, I would like to charge $8.50 shipping. If the item costs between $50.00 and $99.99, I would like to charge $10.50.... etc. etc. Almost every other shopping cart I've dealt with allows you to do this. Does anyone know how this would be accomplished within Cube Cart? I greatly appreciate your help.

I need help with this shipping setting as well

I think cubecart official should have a support to show us How do I configure the shipping module

For shipping by price I don't think they allow you to setting different price will have a different shipping cost.

Hope that they will show us to set up it.

Shipping and fulfillment costs are sometimes difficult to determine, by comparison. One way to handle this problem is to reduce the complexity of shipping and handling to a single spreadsheet that captures everything you need to know.

Need to configure shipping based on total order cost as follows

$0 - 50 = $5.00

50-100 = $10.00

100-150 = $15.00

Over $150 = Free

Seems simple enough, but the "By Price" module doesn't look to have multiple variables to be configured as detailed above.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

ccmodder.com has a couple of shipping plugins for shipping by item or by order total.

Shipping By_Price is, in my opinion, not programmed to be what this module implies it to be. I think as it is, it is a combination of Free-Shipping (above a stated amount) and Flat_Rate (+ship/hand/tax). But certainly not by any levels of price.

Here is a short edit that will make By_Price calculate a shipping cost based on SubTotal* bands:

50.00:5.00, 100.00:10.00, 150.00:15.00

This syntax is as follows:

up-to-amount : cost

means that the subtotal* must be less than or equal to the subtotal for a cost value of shipping

comma-separated bands.

The highest band that contains the subtotal* will be used. ($99.95 subtotal* is $10.00 cost.

You must also state the subtotal* level when free shipping kicks in (say, $150.01), and the Handling cost and tax-type that is applied regardless.

Please make this related edit first:

modulesshippingBy_Priceskinadminindex.tpl

lines 4 and 8, change byprice to by_price

In shipping.class.php, change

   	 } else {

			$value = $this->_settings['amount'];

			if ($this->_settings['handling']>0) $value += $this->_settings['handling'];

		}

to

   	 } else { // get shipping cost for band

	   	 $bands = explode(',', str_replace(' ', '', $this->_settings['amount']));

			natsort($bands);

			if (is_array($bands)) {

				foreach($bands as $band) {

					$band_parts = explode(':', str_replace(' ', '', $band));

					/* $band_parts[0] = SubTotal, $band_parts[1] = ShipCost */

					if ($this->_basket['subtotal'] - $this->_basket['discount'] <= $band_parts[0]) {

						$value	= $band_parts[1];

						break;

					}

				}

			}

	   	 if ($this->_settings['handling']>0) $value += $this->_settings['handling'];

		}

*NOTE: subtotal is defined as the sum total of all line items less any discounts applied. So, if the line items add to $500, and the customer uses a discount of $375, there will be a shipping cost calculated for $15.00.

This is an experiment only. I have not yet confirmed this will work.
