Hello
How would i setup a flat shipping rate that is actually a percentage of the order total?
Say the order total is 100 USD.
My flat rate for shipping is 10%, so the grand total is 110 USD.
How do i do this, if possible ?
Shipping Quote - Flat rate as a percentage

Rate quote will work for your application. See PNG's for screen shots. Set up a sample for 5% and it added shipping as indicated.
Enjoy.

Another possibility is to setup ranges of percentages.
If you are shipping heavy items then perhaps:
$0 - $99.00 at 10%
$100 - 299.99 at 15%
300 - 999.99 at 18%
or it could be used as a discount. The more you buy the less the shipping percent.

I downloaded the module from http://www.ubercart.org/contrib/355 and will test later.
Thanks for the tip.
Hi, i installed the Rate Quote module today, but i dont see any percentage field. See screenshot below.
I'm using Drupal 5.7, Ubercart RC4 and Rate 5.x-1.01 .

Made sure in modules that 'shipping quotes' is enabled. Same basic setup here and have upgraded to Uber 1075 from an older version and it still works. Using it both on a live site and localhost without any issues.

Shipping Quotes is required by Rate Quote so.. yes, its enabled.
I found out i needed some of the updates listed that people posted on the Rate Quote module page. I dont understand why they are not included in the official download.
But the percentage field comes up now. Thanks 
PS - i had to run the Drupal Upgrade process to make this work, there was an update there because of Rate Quote.
Hello,
Do you know how to give the Rate Quote a name ?
I have two Quote methods right now.
- One is a Flat Rate that i called "No Shipping" which just add zeros (this is for those clients who prefer to come and pickup their order).
- The other is a Rate Quote called "Rate Quote Shipping" that adds the 5%.
They both come up in the Checkout page which is fine.
But do you know if i can give a different name to "Rate Quote Shipping" ? Because that name doesnt really tell anything. I would like to call it "Yes ship me the stuff!" or something like that.
Here is what I am seeing. The rate quote is what shows up on the admin side. The calculate is what the shopper sees.
A lot of text is hard coded within modules. And can be changed depending on your needs. However, when that module is updated those changes will be lost. If there are no fields provided, this may be the only solution. Perhaps others know of a different methodology.
Flat rate does allow for a title and a label. Looks like rate quote does not.
