My client does not want to use a default base rate or per product rate (they find it too confusing). Their product sizes vary quite a bit and they want to enter an override rate for every product that will be the total shipping amount. That would be easy enough to do by setting the base & per product default to 0.00, but they also want to give a discounted shipping rate for # products ordered greater than 1 to be $5 per product. Example: 1 product ordered=override rate, 2 products=product1+$5.00, 3 products=product1+$10.00, etc. I've been playing around with checking an order's number of products using conditional actions, but I'm not having any luck getting it to work. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Re: Need Help With Conditional Actions For Flatrate Shipping Quo

I'm still looking for help. Hopefully I've explained it so you can understand what I'm trying to do. Does anyone have any ideas how to get this to work, or can you point me to a reference? I've searched, with no luck.

Re: Re: Need Help With Conditional Actions For Flatrate Shipping

I think I've got it figured out. I ended up using a base rate after all, but hopefully in a way that will be less confusing to my client. I had to set up 2 shipping methods with the first one checking for only 1 product ordered and the second one checking for 2 or more products ordered.

Need Help With Conditional Actions For Flatrate Shipping Quote

hiya

any chance you show some code or where you put it.

I'm looking to automatically calculate shipping bas on #products

1>2 = $5.60
3>5 = $9.60
6>9 = $10.40
10>15 = $16.45

At the moment I have 4 flate rate shipping rates, but it's always the 1st one ($5.60) that gets chosen.

help!
