Was this information Helpful?

Hello,
I'm looking for the best/easiest way to add some kind of option for lift gate shipping, selectable by the customer during shipping calculation. e.g. "Click here to add lift gate shipping to your order" and adds $100 to the shipping cost. I'm also using a modified version of Rate Quote.

Thanks

Re: Add Option for Lift Gate Shipping?

Wouldn't the Flat Rate option work?

Re: Re: Add Option for Lift Gate Shipping?

Is there a way to make that a check box instead of a radio button? E.G. I want to have an "add-on" rate that goes on top of the current shipping charges, not replacing them.

Thanks

I'm still looking for a way to have a check box of some kind that would add on a set fee to the current shipping cost. If that can be done with flat rate, please help! Smiling

Re: Add Option for Lift Gate Shipping?

After doing some reading, it seems like I may need to utilize workflow_ng in some manner, unfortunately I can't figure out how that relates to adding a check box for an additional fee. Basically, I'm clueless here, but thinking it could be done relatively easily. I'd like to create a module out of it eventually...

I'm days away from going live, please help! (Thanks!)

Re: Re: Add Option for Lift Gate Shipping?

If there's any way you can add a duplicate shipping quote that has the price padded for Lift gate and a label that says "Shipping + Liftgate" that would be easiest. Otherwise you're looking into need a custom checkout pane to handle it, and that might be a little over your head if you're not strong in PHP/JS.

Re: Re: Re: Add Option for Lift Gate Shipping?

yowch. Don't know much JS, been learning PHP recently but not a great amount... Is there a hook_form_alter or something of the sort I could try to add it to the current checkout pane instead of defining a new one?

Thanks for the suggestions!
