Hello,

I need to create different rules for different categories and zip code;

I Try to explain:

I've 7 areas to send the goods and 22 different product categories; the cost of the shipping change in consideration of zip code and the category, in certain case the length is the other calculation factor.
I tried to organize the rules in this way:

• Name=Trasporto e Montaggio BR TA LE 72012>=ZIP<=74123; MinLength>=291; 13 in Categories; Shipping=130
• Name=Trasporto e Montaggio BA 70012>=ZIP<=70123; MaxLength>=291; 13 in Categories; Shipping=130
• Name=Trasporto e Montaggio MATERA 75010>=ZIP<=75100; MaxLength>=291; 13 in Categories; Shipping=140
• Name=Trasporto e Montaggio POTENZA 85010>=ZIP<=85100; MaxLength>=291; 13 in Categories; Shipping=190

Unfortunately when I publish this rules they don't appear.
How I can solve this problem?
Thanks for your help.

Dear Tudesign,

I think you are missing a semicolon before the ZIP condition:
Does this solve your issue?

Hi Reinhold;

I added the semicolon; now the rules change but when I choose for example the zip code 70123 in the chart appear the shipping for the next zone 72012; is it an error of the Operators?
Thanks for your help

Name=Trasporto e Montaggio BARI; 70012=>ZIP=<70123; MaxLength>=291; 13 in Categories; Shipping=130
Name=Trasporto e Montaggio BRINDISI; 72012=>ZIP=<72100; MinLength>=291; 13 in Categories; Shipping=130
Name=Trasporto e Montaggio LECCE; 73012=>ZIP=<73100; MinLength>=291; 13 in Categories; Shipping=130
Name=Trasporto e Montaggio TARANTO; 74012=>ZIP=<74123; MinLength>=291; 13 in Categories; Shipping=130
Name=Trasporto e Montaggio MATERA; 75010=>ZIP=<75100; MaxLength>=291; 13 in Categories; Shipping=140
Name=Trasporto e Montaggio POTENZA; 85010=>ZIP=<85100; MaxLength>=291; 13 in Categories; Shipping=190

Hi Reinhold,

I've another question; when there are two products with different characteristics is it possible to add the total price of the individual products?

Product 1 shipping cost 5
Product 2 Shipping cost 3
Total Shipping: 8

Now when add products of different categories appear the price of the last product added; alternatively is it possible to bring up the highest price?
Thanks for your help

Dera Tudesign,
Sorry, but I missed another small issue with your rules:
You are using a condition like:Please note that this means "If ZIP is smaller or equal to 70012" AND "ZIP is smaller or equal to 70123". In particular, the > operator means "Check if the left side is LARGER than the right side". I usually remember this by the distance between the two lines of the > sign. On the left side the distance is larger, on the right end of the sign it is smaller.

So, the correct rules would be:

The plugin is not really designed to calculate shipping costs on a per-product basis. The rules rather operate on the characteristics of the whole cart. There are some clumsy ways to calculate the shipping costs on a per-product basis (there are some postings in this form about per-category and per-product shipping costs, that might give you a hint how to implement his).

Hi Reinhold,

sorry but I can't find this post that you say, could you indicate me the link? I need to solve this issue!

Hi Reinhold,
in you post you suggest a code like this

Variable=ShipTemp; Value=0
Comment=Manufacurer5; Variable=ShipTemp; Value=ShipTemp+0*evaluate_for_manufacturers(Articles, 5)
Comment=Category4; Variable=ShipTemp; Value=ShipTemp + evaluate_for_categories(MaxHeight, 4) * evaluate_for_categories(MaxWeight, 4) * evaluate_for_categories(MaxLength, 4)*7
Comment=Category5; Variable=ShipTemp; Condition=evaluate_for_categories(Articles, 6) == 1; Value=ShipTemp+5
Comment=Category5; Variable=ShipTemp; Condition=evaluate_for_categories(Articles, 6) == 2; Value=ShipTemp+8
...
Shipping=ShipTemp

I've 20 categories and 4 macroareas to send the goods can you suggest me how I can write a rules that add the costs of single goods if in the cart there are 2 oro more?

This is an example of my rules:
Name=Trasporto e Montaggio BA-BR-LE-TA; 70010=<ZIP=<70123 OR 72012=<ZIP=<72100 OR 73012=<ZIP=<73100 OR 74012=<ZIP=<74123; MinLength>=291; 30 in Categories; Shipping=130
Name=Trasporto; 00000=<ZIP=<70006 OR 71010=<ZIP=<71122 OR 76011=<ZIP=<76125 OR 85101=<ZIP=<98168; MinLength>=291; 30 in Categories; Shipping=270
Name=Trasporto e Montaggio MATERA; 75010<=ZIP<=75100; MinLength>=291; 30 in Categories; Shipping=140
Name=Trasporto e Montaggio POTENZA; 85010<=ZIP<=85100; MinLength>=291; 30 in Categories; Shipping=190
Name=Trasporto e Montaggio BA-BR-LE-TA; 70010<=ZIP<=70123 OR 72012<=ZIP<=72100 OR 73012<=ZIP<=73100 OR 74012<=ZIP<=74123; MaxLength<=290;MinLength>=241; 30 in Categories; Shipping=100
Name=Trasporto; 00000<=ZIP<=70006 OR 71010<=ZIP<=71122 OR 76011<=ZIP<=76125 OR 85101<=ZIP<=98168; MaxLength<=290;MinLength>=241; 30 in Categories; Shipping=150
Name=Trasporto e Montaggio MATERA; 75010<=ZIP<=75100; MaxLength<=290;MinLength>=241; 30 in Categories; Shipping=140
Name=Trasporto e Montaggio POTENZA; 85010<=ZIP<=85100; MaxLength<=290;MinLength>=241; 30 in Categories; Shipping=190
Name=Trasporto e Montaggio BA-BR-LE-TA; 70010<=ZIP<=70123 OR 72012<=ZIP<=72100 OR 73012<=ZIP<=73100 OR 74012<=ZIP<=74123; MaxLength<=240; 30 in Categories; Shipping=80
Name=Trasporto; 00000=>ZIP<=70006 OR 71010=<ZIP=<71122 OR 76011=<ZIP=<76125 OR 85101=<ZIP=<98168; MaxLength<=240; 30 in Categories; Shipping=100
Name=Trasporto e Montaggio MATERA; 75010<=ZIP<=75100; MaxLength<=240; 30 in Categories; Shipping=140
Name=Trasporto e Montaggio POTENZA; 85010<=ZIP<=85100; MaxLength<=240; 30 in Categories; Shipping=190

Thanks for your help

Dear Tudesign,
As I said, there are CLUMSY ways, and by that I meant rather ugly and very intricate, in particular if you have multiple conditions.

As a starting point, here is how I would start:
The numbers at the end of each rule is the per-product price. The first two are for article with sku "SKU-1", depending on MinLength and ZIP, the second are for SKU-2 depending on MinLength and ZIP. As you can image, you have to add one rule for each combination of ZIP- and length and SKU combinations...

If you have the same shipping costs for all products in a category, you can use "evaluate_for_categories(Articles, 30)" instead of evaluate_for_skus...

Best regards,
Reinhold
