Using the standard version I have a rule:

Name=Extra charge for Rope; MaxLength==100; ExtraShippingCharge=4.1666667
Name=Shipping Band 3 order value £40 - £49.99 ; 40.00<=AmountWithTax<=49.99; 4.7946667
Name=Shipping Band 4 order value £50 - £59.99 ; 50.00<=AmountWithTax<=59.99; 5.625

(other shipping bands omitted for brevity)
which add an extra charge to orders containing a drum of rope (a drum of rope is the only product that has a length of 100m).

The Name of the applied rule is displayed on the cart page, regardless of whether or not the ExtraShippingCharge is included in the cost.

I would like a mechanism for alerting the shopper when the extra charge has been included in the shipping cost.

So I would like to include extra text in the displayed Shipping Name as appropriate.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Dear OptMax,
Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to display the name of an ExtraShippingCharge variable in the shipping name.

There is a workaround, though: You can define a variable under the same conditions as the extra shipping charge and include that in the rule name:

Name=Extra charge for Rope; MaxLength==100; ExtraShippingCharge=4.1666667
Variable=ExtraChargeText; Value=""
Variable=ExtraChargeText; MaxLength==100; Value=" (extra charge for ropes)"

Name="Shipping Band 3 order value £40 - £49.99{ExtraChargeText}"; 40.00<=AmountWithTax<=49.99; 4.7946667
Name="Shipping Band 4 order value £50 - £59.99{ExtraChargeText}"; 50.00<=AmountWithTax<=59.99; 5.625

By default ExtraChargeText will be "", so nothing will be appended. But when a rope is in the cart, then it is set to " (extra charge for ropes)". This variable is then included in all shipping names.

Best regards,
Reinhold
