General Support / I need to add Tare Weight and Packaging Cost to the shipping rates.
« on: August 11, 2024, 10:45:07 PM »
I am using AbanteCart version 1.3.4.
I need to add a package tare weight to each shipment to make the shipping rates accurate. For example, the average weight of the shipping boxes we use is 0.3 pounds so I need to add 0.3 pounds to the weight of each order before the shipping rates are calculated.
I also need to add the packaging cost to the shipping rates. For example, the average cost of the shipping box, packing peanuts, tape, and label that we use to ship an order is $1.00. So I need to add $1.00 to the cost of each shipping method.
I do not want to use the handling fee option that customers can see on the checkout page because these are not handling fees. These are shipping weights and shipping materials costs, so they should be included in the shipping rates that customers see and pay.
Is there a way to add a tare weight to orders in the AbanteCart admin area?
Is there a way to add the packaging cost to the shipment rates in the AbanteCart admin area?
Or has anyone figured out how to add to or edit the code to accomplish this?
