TOPIC:

Hi,
I am brand new to eshopping and am tyng to undersatnd the shipping cost set up for my shop. I have downloaded and installed the shipping rules plug in but cannot figure what to put as a rule.

I want the first item in my cart to be $5.00, and each additional item $1.00 each, plus if going outside USA then there would be an additonal $5.00 surcharge.

Is this possible.

Thanks
Adrian

Dear Agorman,
First, you ned to keep in mind that the plugin is not designed to specify shipping costs for each product, but it returns the shipping costs of the whole cart. Having said that, you can of course implement rules for your situation.

If you use the advanced version of the plugin, the rules would simply be:
In the free version of the plugin, there are no numeric calculations (not even something as seemingly simple as an addition), so this is not so straightforward. Instead of giving a formula for the shipping costs, one needs to list each case of 1 article, 2 articles, 3 articles, etc. manually:
If your shipping cost is really exactly $1 for each additional item, you might get around with the following rules, but this approach will not work any more if each additional item causes some other costs than $1:
Best regards,
Reinhold

Thank you Reinhold

Problem solved.
