Title: How to Change Shipping Rate?
Post by: essence on September 25, 2012, 02:07:51 AM
I have gone over and over each tab trying to remember where I initially added the "flat rate shipping" into.
I thought it was under settings?

Anyways,
what I want to be able to do is have an option for Flat Rate shipping, and also Per item shipping.

I had an initial amount of $15 which will not change no matter what I try. It is also showing up under per item shipping.
all i have manage to do is disable both options for now.

how can i fix this?
also, is it possible to have a handling fee for those who wish to "pick up from store"?

please help!

thank you in advance!

Payment and shipping are handled by extension modules, so you probably installed the Flat Rate module under Admin -> Extensions -> Shipping  , selecting the default_flat_rate shipping module.

There are options for cost, location (which regions the module should be used for, I presume) and sort order (change order in which the module is presented on the shipping page.).

There is not an option for a postage or handling fee, within the module itself - but there is a Handling Fee module in the Order Total collection.  Try there.

There is no reason you can't offer both Per Item and Flat rate options for shipping - just activate both modules.  Not sure the options will always make sense though....

I went in and tried to change the values, I also deleted and re-installed them.
It did not work.

I am attaching pictures.

I suggest you upgrade to version 1.1
We had some fixes in this area and good new features.
