Was this information Helpful?

Hi there,

Is it possible to make the "estimate shipping quote" pane in the cart page to be able to estimate shipping quote based on country ?

If no, it could be great feature because, for store that export products, the fact to make this calculation on postal code only have some limitation.

Re: Estimate shipping quote based on country

I'm not sure what you mean. You can already specify which shipping methods get quotes based on the country to deliver to. What else do you need it to do?

Re: Re: Estimate shipping quote based on country

In admin/store/settings/cart/edit/panes, I can add a shipping quote pane to estimate the shipping amount on the cart page.

If I enable this pane and I go to the cart page, the shipping quote estimation is here, but I only have a "postal code" field to fill to have my estimation.

I would like to have the select menu with countries in it with the zone field instead of postal code textfield and I don't find this option in ubercart.

Oh, cart panes. I was still

Oh, cart panes. I was still thinking about checkout panes.

You're right. I was never very happy with the cart pane, but zone and country fields would make it a lot better.

Re: Estimate shipping quote based on country

I just added a patch for the country field:
http://ubercart.org/issue/1601/country_field_shipping_estimates

I did not add zone, but it would be trivial to do. Personally, I think the less information a customer needs to enter, the better.

A great modification to this would be to use one of those IP<>country lookup services, and default the country to the detected country (though, that may be better done in uc_country_select() )
