Hello,

I would like to know how to set it that the price goes up for every 10kgs

for example, i sell a bed that is 8kg i want it to take the 10kg price and if it is 15 it will take the 20kg price is there a way to make it multiply by 10 so i would like it to be R120 for 10kg that gets multiplied. Does this make sense?

Thanks

Dear MMP,
If your shipping cost is really R120 for every 10kg of the total weight of the order, then this can be done with a simple rule like:
The ceil(Weight, 10) rounds up the weight to the next multiple of 10, so you have to divide by 10 to get the number of multiples of 10kg. Alternatively, you can put the /10 into the ceil: Shipping=120*ceil(Weight/10)
This should give the exact same result.

Best regards,
Reinhold

Hi Reinhold

I attempted this rule, it it does not seem to be working, i am getting a error message
"Evaluation yields unknown value while evaluating rule part '120*ceil(Weight, /10)'."
if i use (Weight, 10) it gives me the same error.
any idea what would be the problem?

Dear MMP,
I forgot to mention that for mathematical expressions / calculations like yours, you need the advanced (paid) version of the plugin. That error messages occurs when you use the free version of the plugin, because the free version does not try to understand "120*ceil(Weight/10)" as a mathematical expression, but only as a variable name.

Best regards,

Hi Reinhold

Is there a way to do this with the free version?

Thanks

Not in general. All you can do is to manually check for 0-10kg, for 10-20kg, for 20-30kg, etc. This would be a rule set like:
No matter how much you go up, there is always a chance that there is an order with a higher weight than the highest value that you explicitly check...

Best regards,
Reinhold

Morning Reinhold

Ok this seems to have worked,

thanks you for your help :)

Problem solved.
