Hi !

The shipping price in my shop is calculated based on the number of items ordered. For each shipping method (either standard or express), there is a base price, and then I add 1$ per extra item. So, for example, if a customer buys 3 items, the price of shipping should be : 13.99 (base price) + 1$ + 1$ = 15.99 $. So the total price for the shipping that the customer should see in the shopping is is 15.99.

Is it possible to do this with HIkashop ? I have looked in Hikashop and on this forum, but could not learn how.

Thanks !

Hi,

Yes ; it's the "shipping price per product" feature.
You have to activate it in the shipping method configuration and specify the default product shipping price (that you can override for each product).

With what I can understand, I do not think the solution described meets my needs. I think maybe I did not described well enough what I need. But if so, I have no idea how to do it, as I cannot find any instructions on how to do what I need to do in any tutorial, no section on what to do to configure the 'Shipping prices' section on the product page.

First off, what I need applies to ALL products, whatever the customer puts in the shopping cart. It does not apply to each individual product. For example, lets have 3 products : Soap, Cloth and Shampoo. If the customer buy only one, let's say the soap, the shipping will be 12.99. But if the custommer buys a soap, a cloth and a shampoo, the shipping is 12.99 + 1 + 1 = 14.99. So, ideally, as with the shopping cart I am presently using, this feature is configured under each shipping method, and not under each product.

Also, the reason why I think probably you think that what I need applies to the same product, is that if I configure this in each product page, does that not make it apply to each individual product ? For example, it will only apply if the customer buys 2 or 3 soap.

The shipping method I need does not rely on weight at all, but on the TOTAL quantity of items in the shopping cart.

Please let me know if this is possible. I cannot find any help in the documentation, forum or by personnally tyring to figure this out by looking in Hikashop. I need this option, if not I will have to look for another shopping cart, but I really would like to use this one.

Thanks !

Hi,

Yep ; that's actually what I explained you in my last message.
When you activate the shipping price per product, you can set the default price for all products.
Just put "1" and that's it !

I was just adding that, you can override the price per product, if required ; even if in your case you do not need some special prices, maybe one day it will be required.

OK, but I don't understand how to configure it.
As per the image in attachment, it shows what we see when we have activated the 'price per product' feature. In this image



, the price for the standard delivery was set at 12.99 in the shipping section. I click on the '+' sign and below it, we see other blocks to fill. So, what do I need to do ? Where do I put the '1' ?

Thanks !
Your help will be appreciated.

Hi,

Can you please just forget the configuration in the product page ?
Just re-read my previous message carefully (every word as his importance)

When you activate the shipping price per product, you can set the default price for all products.
