Shipping Price Per Product

[fan4chevy]

Hi,
I am new to Phoca Cart. Love what I am seeing. Was on Hikashop.

How do I create a shipping price per product and quantity selection of that product item?

Is there also a way to add shipping increase price for attribute options?

Thank you,
Charles

Hi, see similar posts in this forum. Shipping is based on cart not on product so it includes rules which can be somehow managed by cart and not a product.

What happens, if you set the shipping rules for one product differently than on other product and user adds both of them to cart? Which rule should be applied there, the one from product A or the one for product B? This is logical collision, this is why shipping rules are based on cart not products.

In Hikashop I had different shipping per item and if attributes then the attributes would have different shipping cost. Then when checking out the cart would add shipping of Product A with shipping of Product B and then the shipping cost would be the two or more pieces added.

So if Product A cost $5 to ship and Product B was $50 to ship then at check out it would say that shipping was $55.

In addition, I had it also where the shipping of Product was based on quantity as well.

Hi, in Phoca Cart:

- you can add additional price to the attribute directly (so you don't need to count all of it for shipping costs, but it will be just included in attribute price)

- another way is e.g. to use size parameters and count all the sizes and based on size rule some specific shipping method will be displayed.

So e.g. each product will get some specific size, such size is countend and when you have specific amount of size, the shipping method is displayed based on such rules:



This can be similar for weight rule too.

BTW I read the documentation where the shipping is set per product and didn't get any answer what happen when customer add two or more items into the cart (which is usually the reality). The reality is even that the shipping firms just set different prices for shipping per weright or per size. So mostly, the weight is used. Means you can set different prices for shipping per weight:

- 0 - 5 kg ... 10EUR
- 5 - 25kg ... 20EUR
- 25 - 50kg - 50EUR

which you can easily manage with setting size or weight for the products. So there is no need to set additional complicated values for products
