Hi,

I would like to setup manual shipping methods calculating with volume (cm3)
or with weight (kg) per product like the price per product function.

The weight (kg) or volume (cm3) fields can not be calculated per product.
I have set up more volume categories for my products but if a customer buys
more pieces of products, the order's volume can exceed the maximum
volume restriction of the shipping method and so the shipping method
will not be displayed. I have set the maximum volume restriction higher,
but in case of buying more products it is not a solution.

Could you please give me an advise, how I could set weights or volumes
for specified products, which are not calculated per order.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi,

At this moment it will require a custom shipping plugin in order to use the "getOrderPackage" now proposed in the HikaShop shipping interface (for shipping plugins like "UPS", "Fedex", "CanadaPost" etc).
The function allow the shipping method to group the products into different packages depending some limitation.

The manual shipping plugin just handle one single package and does not allow to combine several rules into one single order.
We are thinking about a new kind of "manual shipping" plugin but we do not have yet all specifications which could provide enough features for everybody.

Dear Jerome,

I have set a higher maximum volume restriction.
It solves the problem in short term.

Thank you for your help.
