I've looked through the forum etc but can't see an answer to this.

Our pricing is based on dimensions. e.g. 20" diameter = $100. All standard shipping, until now, has been included in the base price so cart calculations and shipping have been straightforward. However, I now have to add a 15% shipping surcharge to all items ordered that are 36" and above. This cannot be added to the base price.

How do I get the 15% on all items in a cart that are 36" and above?

Hi,

I can see that you use the characteristic system to allow the customers to select the size of their plaques.
I can also see that you've removed the "shipping" view from your checkout workflow and that you apparently didn't configure any shipping method.
What you can do is this:
- for the variants below 36" set a weight of 0
- for the variants that are 36" or above set a weight of 1
- make sure the "Force shipping for virtual / weightless items" setting is turned on and that you add back the "shipping" view in your checkout
- configure manual shipping methods via the System>Shipping methods menu:
1. with a maximum weight of 0.5 and a price of 0
2. with a minimum weight of 0.5 and a percentage of 15 and the "include virtual product price" setting turned off. That way, the shipping method will only be available if at least one 36" or more product is in the cart and only these products will be taken into account for the 15% shipping cost calculation.
