TOPIC:

Hi, I'm a user of the Pro version of the plugin.

I'm not very clear if there's a way to create a set of rules to make a shipping method or cost dependent on a particular product code or product category present in the cart. From the embedded help, I can conclude I can tie a dependency only to the number of items (articles) in the cart.

For instance, I want to make some shipping method inapplicable if the user added a product from a particular category in the cart. Is it possible under the current implementation?

Hi,
It is possible to make shipping costs depend on whether a product of a certain category is in the cart. You are right, the documentation should be improved in that respect, though.

See www.open-tools.net/forum/shipping-by-rul...tegories-or-sku.html
If you want to prohibit shipping if a category is present, simply use the NoShipping indicator:
It is also possible to check whether a particular item (indicated by the SKU) is in the cart:

Many thanks! Will appreciate if the quoted examples are added to www.open-tools.net/component/content/article.html?id=46

Problem solved.

Examples added (was on my TODO list anyway, but always procrastinated).

Strange, the following:

7 in Categories;

worked for me, while that:

Categories==list(7);

did not, for some reason. The rule was ignored for the cart.

Are you sure that category 7 was the only category in the cart? In particular, did none of the products in the cart have any other category assigned?

Best regards and a happy new year,
