Hi

I would like a different shipping price for a category however the rules I have used don't seem to work.

So I have said for one article the shipping is $15.50 however for an article from category 34 the shipping is $10.00. I have used the rules below:

articles==1; Shipping=15.50
Categories==list(34); Shipping=10.00

My issue is that shipping for category 34 is still being charged at $15.50

Could you please let me know where I have gone wrong?

Thanks

You need to understand how the plugin determines the shipping costs: It simply goes through the rules one after the other, until it finds a rule that matched. In your case, the first rule is :
"If there is exactly one article in the order, shipping is 15.50"

Of course, this also applies to orders where you have exactly one article from category 3 in the cart...

Basically, you need to check the most restrictive conditions / rates FIRST, and the least restrictive rules last.

If you want one article (and only one article in the order!) of category 34 to ship for 10.00, but all other orders with one article fro 15.50, then you need to place the corresponding rule first.
Please also note that your rule "Categories==list(34); Shipping=10" will also match for orders of more than one article from category 34...

Hi

Thanks however I updated to be this:

Categories==list(23); Shipping=10
articles==1; Shipping=15.50

and the items from category 23 are still being charged $15.50 not $10.00

Could you please advise what I have done incorrectly?

Thanks

Are the items from category 23 also in other categories? In that case, the Categories list contains also the other categories. You can get around that by comparing the number of articles in category 23 to the total number of articles:

Hello,
Sorry, I forgot to mention that you will need the latest version 5.0 of the plugin.
