Handling fee

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know why the handling fee was removed from the Admin ~ Shipping/Packaging configuration menu and how to implement a handling fee in the current release of osC?

That would work except it would show on the invoice as a Low Order Fee instead of Handling Charge.

 

Believe it or not, but a lot of customers will accept a Handling Charge while they will not accept a Low Order Fee. Different words, same meaning, different customer impression.

 

I could also bump my shipping charges to include the handling fee but that makes my shipping look more expensive than my competitor's and we can't have that. :P

 

I need a way to have Handling Charge show up on the invoice and confrmation screen. Any ideas?

I did not even think of looking at it as a bug, just as a feature that was removed. I figured that the functionality had been combined into another area but could not find anything.

 

Thanks for providing that link! :)

Well, there two options:

 

The good one:

Copy low_orderfee.phpand it's language files to handling.php.

Replace all occurences of low_orderfee in these files to handling. Keep the case intact!

If you like, change the logic in handling.php.

Activate the new module in admin

 

The quick and dirty one:

Set the low-order threshold to 0.00 in Admin

Change the language files of low_orderfee.php in the language directories.

That scares the hell out of me.

 

After reading the bug report and realizing that the functionality had been removed opposed to being incorporated, I did the same thing as in your first suggestion.

 

Perhaps I should put something so simply in the contributions for others that need this functionality. :?:

Is this in the default osC or a contribution?

 

In the default, I do not see an option for a handling fee on any of the shipping modules. :(

I just checked the per_item module, and it's there!

 

But per item does not work with USPS, UPS, FedEx, or any of the other shipping methods does it?

I just wanted to point out that there is at leat one shippingmodule that has the handling fee included.

 

I tested it, but the handling fee get included into the total shipping cost. I believe that that is not what you want. That makes your "handling-fee" contribution even more valuable as it gives a seperate "handling fee" line on the ordertotals.

I added the "Handling Fee" contribution to the Order Totals module yesterday.

 

When Ajeh replied, I became nervous that I had added something that was redundent.

 

Thanks for all the help! :)
