Description

Calculate shipping by product as a fixed amount or as a percentage of the product's cost AND by the method of shipping AND by the "ship to" State Zone. Each and every products' shipping cost is summed to arrive at the order's shipping cost. This MIVA Merchant module provides flexibility to combine flatrate and percentage of subtotal calculations on a productby product basis. Not compatible with the current google checkout module as that module does not use the customer's address to select the shipping methods available.

Easy admin configuration of per product shipping charges. The store owner initially sets up the available storewide shipping methods and rates for the store. You can have multiple methods for as many State Zones as you establish. You establish which states belong to which State Zone. Youcan then let the storewide methods and rates apply to each and every product in the store or you can establish "Shipping Override" by product or by category. If you desire every product ina category to have a shipping cost different from the storewide costs, you set up that category's "Shipping Override"methods from the Category tab. You can even use some storewideand some category specific. Then if you have specific shipping costsfor specific products, you can select the "Shipping Override"tab in the product edit screen. You can use the storewide methods and rates or override with the product specific rate. The product specific rates take precedence over the category specific rates and the category specific rates take precedence over the storewide rates. All products in the store are included in the calculation. You cannot use this module to only run shipping costs for an isolated product because the customer can only select one shipping method. Hence, identify the cost, either storewide or override, for all products in the store.

Fixed cost or percentage of item price. The "Shipping Override" costs can be set as percentage or fixedamount and need not use the same calculation formula as thestorewide calculation for the same method. The "ShippingOverride" charges can even be zero so that shipping can befree for certain products or categories. As an example, the store might charge $4.00 for each item for priority mail. However, they may charge 2% of the item's cost in the jewelrycategory. As the shipping module summed the costs, it wouldapply the $4.00 to each item that did not have a "Shipping Override". Then it would multiply the 2% times each purchased item's cost in the jewelry category and add it tothe sum.

Handling charge option. The module even provides an input for a handling or base charge. That amount can be different for each method ofshipping and is added after all of the individual productshipping charges are summed.

Display this module's shipping methods based on destination. Like our other State Zone shipping modules, you can have different methods and rates for different areas of the country. When the customer enters their "ship to" address during checkout, the module determines which shipping methods willbe available to that customer. Only methods established fortheir "ship to" state will be visible in the shipping andpayment selection screen.

This module is compatible with the MMUI and OpenUI look and feeluser interfaces. It is licensed per domain which means if youhave multiple stores under one domain, there are no additionallicense fees for this module within that one domain/mall.
