Shipping Otion: to Calculate Shipping Costs After the Order is Made

[Janex]

Greetings,

The Shipping Option seems to be the most problematic part of setting up AbanteCart Cart.  I am wondering the following:

1.  Is there is a way to allow an order to process without adding shipping costs and then after order is made a simple way to advise the buyer of what the acutal shipping costs will be prior to sending the order; and
2.   the above Without having the customer re-send their payment.

3.  Instead of saying Free Shipping (or I am noting that the Flat Rate $2.00 always appears right now in my cart) is there a way to say Shipping Calculated on Order Completion?  Or something like that.

3.   I understand there is a way to edit a customer shopping cart for out of stock items etc. prior to sending and accepting payment I assume; and does this include being able to alter the shipping charges?

4.  I have PayPal Express as the payment Gateway.  Is it possible to have PayPay Calculate the actual shipping?

Feeling disillusioned and unable to proceed with my store. 

Thank you for helping!  Muchly appreciated.

Are you looking for solution to announce shipping to the customer after transaction is finished (order placed)?
Is this a good idea?
From the customer perspective, supersize shipping cost will be not welcomed.

What you are looking for is not supported as it breaks the standard checkout workflow. Also, you need separate authorizations for any additional charges.

To simplify delivery you can try Price Based Shipping or Weight based shipping.

I understand the Canada Post Shipping Extension is not working with the latest AbanteCart.
