Shipping setup/configuration

Hi,

I'm looking to set up the following shipping/postage rules and wondering whether somebody can recommend a good approach:

Rule 1: All items in a particular Category cost $10 in shipping. It's actually a "Merchandise" category that sells only lightweight items such as T-shirts, Hoodies and Caps. Buyers can have as many items from this category for a total of $10 shipping. E.g. 1 Hoodie, 2 Caps, 2 T-shirts for a total of $10 shipping.

Rule 2: In the only other category, the shipping cost depends on the selected "Product attribute". If a customer chooses the "4 Pack" then shipping is $15, if they choose the "24 Pack" then shipping is $25.

Rule 3: Maximum shipping cost is $50. So whatever is in the shopping cart, shipping costs no more than $50. I know there is a "free shipping over x amount" option, but there's doesn't appear to be a "max shipping amount".

Only 1 shipping method is needed.

Can one of the Shipping plugins handle all of the above conditions, or am I better off trying to write my own plugin.

Hi kooblakabla

there is no configuration on default nopCommerce.
It is batter to builds our own plugin.

Shipping Director can do it.  It could look something like this:

Decimal
LightWeight Rate
Items.Any(Product.HasCategory("LightWeight")) ? 10.00 : 0.00

Decimal
4 Pack Rate
Items.Where(HasAttribute("Size","4 Pack")).Sum(Quantity) * 15.00

Decimal
24 Pack Rate
Items.Where(HasAttribute("Size","24 Pack")).Sum(Quantity) * 25.00

Decimal
Total Rate
[LightWeight Rate] + [4 Pack Rate] + [24 Pack Rate]

Option
Shipping
true
Math.Min([Total Rate], 50.00)

Hi New York,

I'm just testing out your plugin - thank you for the examples otherwise I would not have known where to start.

I'm having a problem with the following example you provided:

Items.Where(HasAttribute("Size","4 Pack")).Sum(Quantity) * 15.00

When I test it out I receive the following error:

Error=No applicable method 'HasAttribute' exists in type 'QueryContextItem'

I tried using "Product.HasAttribute" instead, like so:

Items.Where(Product.HasAttribute("Size","4 Pack")).Sum(Quantity) * 15.00

but get a similar error. Are you able to provide an example with the correct syntax?

Cheers,
Gavin

RE: " ...  type 'QueryContextItem'

I think you may have the expression in the wrong place.  It should be in the Expression field:

Type:   Decimal
Name:  4 Pack Rate
Expression: Items.Where(HasAttribute("Size","4 Pack")).Sum(Quantity) * 15.00


Export your configuration, and email it to us at support at noptools.com.

Sorry, my typo.  (HasAttribute is used to get checkout attributes, e.g.   Customer.HasAttribute("...")  )

Use HasAttributeValue()

Decimal
4-Pack Rate
Items.Where(HasAttributeValue("Size","4 Pack")).Sum(Quantity) * 15.00

That was it. Thank you.
