I may be missing something but I can't seem to figure out how I can implement a flat fee for handling charges independent of the shipping quote. I am using the FedEx module for my quotes and it is working fine, however, I need to have a seperate $6.00 handling fee as a line item to appear on each order, not as a shipping quote option. Any suggestions?

Re: Handling Fees

I actually don't think anyone's done anything like this... the closest I can remember is someone put a "negative" discount so it added a fee to their order. You might check the discount contrib, but I can't guarantee its compatibility with the latest UC. See its comments for more info.

i kinda hacked the uc_order.module to add another line item for the handling fee -- client wanted a flat rate handling fee too. it was a quick fix as im still thinking of how best to implement this.

Re: kludge-y

We've been looking for this too – would be great!
At the moment we just add a message letting customers know that the shipping quotes don't necessary reflect the USPS online quotes, and do include a small handling fee levied by us.
But yeah, if we could explicitly say the handling fee is X amount on a seperate line that'd be sweet.

Even better, add optional services as an additional charge, such as lift gate delivery ($xx on top of the shipping charge).

Re: Re: Re: kludge-y

I also need the handling fee per each order.
Also, an option of a $5 rush fee for when the customers want to pay us to do our jobs. Eye-wink

If anyone is working on this, that is my wish list!

Handling Fee Hook_Line_Item works but...

I have implemented Tangerines hook_line_item to display and calculate a handling fee and it works great but there is nothing written in to distinguish between shippable and downloadable products. Meaning that downloadable products obviously would not have a handling fee. Does anyone know where I might look to fix this?

Thanks in advance

Status?

I'm interested in adding handling fee(s) as well. Any recent movement on a potential module/hook?

module/hook

Hi,

I'm also looking for a way to implement handling fees. Does anyone have a module which she/he wants to share?

I'm also curious about your solution Tanjerine , would you mind sharing?

Cheers

This isn't ready for use, but I just saw this come up yesterday: http://drupal.org/project/uc_fee

It's also being developed for D6.

That's great news. Smiling
I'm so glad someone is working on that.
I really need handling fees/ rush fees for my orders.
Thanks for keeping us informed.

Re: Handling Fees

Cool! This is something, like the discount module that should be in the core of any shop I think!!

Any way, I posted this today: http://www.ubercart.org/forum/support/6258/required_fees_are_automatical...
