In Hikashop 2.3.4 I had a weight for the main product and different weights for the variants for that product. At checkout the shipping cost was calculated based on the weight of the variant that the customer put into the shopping cart. Since upgrading to 2.3.5 shipping cost are now calculated by the weight of the main product being added to the weight of the variant that is in the shopping cart. When I change the weight of the main product to 0 it brings the shipping cost back down to the correct price. If I leave the main product weight at zero Hikashop automatically changes the product type to virtual goods.

Is this the way it is suppose to be now and if so why the change?

Hi,

The weight of the main product should not be taken into account if you set it in the variants. Now, that also means that there is no point in adding it in the main products, so an easy solution will indeed be to remove the weight from the main products and we'll look at fixing that in the future.
The "virtual good" product type of the main product is not relevant. You can ignore it.
