hello

I have two payment method named payment-A, payment-B, and two shipment methods named shipment-A, shipment-B then I want buyer who select payment-A can only select shipment-A.

can the plugin "shipping by rules" or "advanced shipping by rules" depend on the payment method condition to achieve the object?

I am considering to buy the plugin if it can solve my problem, thank you.

Dear Rueiruei,
Unfortunately, a shipping plugin in VirtueMart cannot depend on the payment method. The prime reason is that the shipping methods is selected first, so when the shipping costs are calculated, the user has not yet selected the payment...

Sorry,
Reinhold

Hi Reinhold,

I think 'achieve' means 'is the selected payment methos is readable by SRP'. I also need the possiblity to calculate the shipping costs depending on the selected payment method:

Vorkasse + DHL -> 6,90
Paypal + DHL -> 10,00

The is a simple and common solution to handle the costs of different payments systems.

Dear Tbb,
Unfortunately, that is not possible in VirtueMart, because when the shipping costs are determined (which is before the user selects the shipping method), the payment method is not yet selected. In particular, the sequenc of shipping/payment selection in VM is:
1) After an address is entered, VM asks each shipping plugin for possible shipping rates
2) VM displays these shipping rates and lets the user select the rate
3) VM then asks each payment plugin for possible payment method
4) VM displayes these payment methods and lets the user select

As you can see, the shipping rate is determined long before the use can select the payment method...

Sorry,
Reinhold

Hi Reinhold,

thanks for the clarification!
