Hello,

Let me have an example :
Customer 1 has an order of 5 euro and lives in the europe and items weight 20 grams.
Customer 2 has an order of 20 euro and lives also in the europe and the items weight 20 grams.

They both pay with IBAN.

Is it possible to say the shipping cost are 1.28 euro + 0.80 euro for handling fee if the order is less than 15 euro ?
in such way that :
- customer 1 sees 2.08 euro shipping costs
- customer 2 sees 1.28 euro shipping costs

So there is an weight and price band.

or is this against the filosofy of brickowl?

Thanks in advance,

kind regards,
Peter

    If I understand right it can be done, but not all within one method.

    You can have two (or more) divisions for the zone (two shipping methods to describe one style of shipment to one destination).

    One the maximum total is 5 and the cost is 2.08.

    The other has a min of 5 and 1.28

    The destinations, weight and volume can be the same for both.

    Hope that solves what you wanted to accomplish.

    hi thanks for commeting on the thread !!

    If I understand correctly,
    It is neccessary to make 2 shipping method
    A with a weight band
    B with a price band

    but if i do this on check out i get 2 options to click on.
    So then i have to trust the buyer that he will select the right shipping method ?

    or do i understand your explenation in a wrong way ?

    Create your shipping method, then copy it. Mark the first method as 15euro minimum priority. Then go to your second band and make the maximum 14,99euro. Increase the price on all the bands by 0,80 euro. The customer will have no choice between the two. If he is smart he may continue adding small items to the cart while watching his shipping price. Or you may tag your lower method as "No extra charge on orders 15euro and up.

    Hey wait, I thought we were able to click, click copy shipping methods. Do they need to be reentered manually?

    many thanks for your answer that indeed the solution.

    But this does me question : the purpose of this system is to avoid hidden fees, I totally understand the thought behind this !

    but now you see on checkout only 2.08 euro but you now do not know what the handling fee is ?
    or if there is any, so it makes it more hidden I think ?

    Not to compare this site to Bl because it has other filosofy but there i state my handling shipping and Paypal fee very clear and communicate this to the buyer so he/she exactly know how and what.

    email example:image

    is it an idea to make it possible in the store information to state whether there is an handling fee/Paypal fee or see this at checkout ?

    but an idea no to critize BO, i love this site !

    kind regards,
    peter

    btw just a note it is not my intention to have hidden fees ofcourse this will be clearly stated in the webshop !

    Sellers are welcome to include extra fees here. The point is that everything is known upfront to the point that the buyer can pay immediately. No waiting and then finding something unexpected on the invoice.
