Daemonj Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 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?

M@rcel Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Perhaps you can use the low_orderfee order_total module for this? Something like "charge low orderfee for orders below 0.00" Greetings from Marcel |Current version|Documentation|Contributions| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@rcel Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Ther is already a BugReport on this. Greetings from Marcel |Current version|Documentation|Contributions| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemonj Posted April 21, 2003 Author Share Posted April 21, 2003 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? "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.

Daemonj Posted April 21, 2003 Author Share Posted April 21, 2003 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! :) "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.

M@rcel Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 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.

Daemonj Posted April 21, 2003 Author Share Posted April 21, 2003 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. :?: "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.

Ajeh Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 The Handling Fee is now added on a per Shipping Module Basis ... Should be there when you hit Edit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajeh Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Yeps ... I have a bunch of shipping/payment modules I need to update as well. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemonj Posted April 21, 2003 Author Share Posted April 21, 2003 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. :( "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.

M@rcel Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 I just checked the per_item module, and it's there! Greetings from Marcel |Current version|Documentation|Contributions| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daemonj Posted April 21, 2003 Author Share Posted April 21, 2003 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? "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.

M@rcel Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 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.

Daemonj Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 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! :) "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.
