TOPIC:

Hi,

I added another category but it has different mode of shipping, which is free shipping on order above $50 below $50, shipping=4.
In this, how can I add to my old shipping rules?

I used this rules; (old rules)
1.
Variable=shippingArticles; Value=Articles - evaluate_for_categories(Articles, 249,209,222,108,257)
Shipping=2*ShippingArticles

2.
Separate country Finland
Name=FREE ; Shipping=0

Thank you for advance help.

This plug in really helps a lot.

Best Regards,
Carl

Dear Carl,
Regarding that new category, how exactly does the free shipping work? Does the Free/4$ shipping cost apply to the whole order, or only to the products from the new category? Also, is the 4$ meant to be per-product or for the whole order?

Basically, your old rules say:
- each article has shipping costs of 2$, except those from categories 249, 209, 222, 108 and 257, which are free

Is the following what you have in mind for your complete shipping cost structure?
- each article from category NEW has shipping cost of 4$, unless the whole order has an order total of 50$ or above (i.e. the sum of all products, also from other categories is at least 50$). If the latter is the case, these products have shipping cost 0 per article.
- All other articles have shipping cost 2$, except those from categories 249, 209, 222, 108 and 257, which are free

This could be implemented by a ruleset like (assume the new category has ID 987):
if the 50$ theshold is meant only for the order amount of all articles from the new category, then the ruleset could be something like

Hi,
I tried this rule:

Variable=ArticlesCatA; Value=evaluate_for_categories(Articles, 987)
Variable=CostCatA; Value=4
Variable=CostCatA; evaulate_for_categories(Amount, 987)>=50; Value=0
Variable=shippingArticles; Value=Articles - evaluate_for_categories(Articles, 249, 209, 222, 108, 257, 987)
Shipping=2*ShippingArticles+CostCatA*ArticlesCatA

However it appear on the front end
Unknown function 'evaulate_for_categories' encountered during evaluation of rule 'Variable=CostCatA; evaulate_for_categories(Amount, 23)>=50; Value=0 '.

Also, in the new added category 987, if I add 1 item it result $6 every one item which is supposed to be $4 only.

I am also using 2nd rule to a domestic which all items are free shipping except for the new added category which is buyer need to pay $4 below $50 purchase and free shipping above $50.

Separate country Finland
Name=FREE ; Shipping=0

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I want to answer this question: Does the Free/4$ shipping cost apply to the whole order, or only to the products from the new category?

- this only applies to a newly added category.

Dear Carl,

Sorry, there was a typo in my rules (`evaulate_for_categories` instead of the correct `evaluate_for_categories`).

This indicates that the shippingArticles variable still contains the articles from that category. For testing purposes, can you follow the debugging hints in the documentation (open-tools.net/documentation/shipping-by...emart.html#debugging). In particular, set up a debugging method and add the variable definitions before the NoShipping rule. That will print all variables, so you can check whether shippingArticles (and the other variables) have the correct value).

I would use the following rules:It is important to have the 0<evaluate_for_categories to make sure that there are items from category 987 in the order.
