rdoolin Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 We sell physical music CD's and digital downloads. We have enabled free shipping for digital items. However, when a customer orders both a CD and a virtual product our shipping module calculates the cost to be as through they have ordered 2 CDs. When the order is for virtual products only it works fine. Anyone else have a similar issue? Thanks, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigaboogie Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Huh. I just posted a message about pretty much the same thing. Except you are one step ahead of me, it seems. We, too, see CD's and are just now getting into virtual / downloaded ones. How are you getting virtual items to not have shipping? Regardless of combination orders, our virtual items always include shipping (which we DO NOT want). We sell physical music CD's and digital downloads. We have enabled free shipping fordigital items.

Guest Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 You could try the Zero Weight Skips Shipping contribution. It is very frustrating when people do not read my previous statements. I said : per Item mod does not work with weight. Also ...Purchasing a Physical Product ALONE incurs shipping charges Purchasing a Virtual or Download Product ALONE does not incur shipping charges Purchasing a Physical and a Virtual or Download product TOGETHER..Shipping charges is multiply by two(2). In other words shipping charges are applied to the Download. This is the problem. Can anyone assist in this matter. I would be very grateful. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks How about this: PER ITEM SHIPPING DOESN'T WORK WITH VIRTUAL PRODUCTS The only way to do what you want to do is to use Multi Vendor Shipping, a huge mod for what is really a very simple problem that many, many people have already addressed simply by using weight based shipping methods.

Guest Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 how about this one: In your catalog\includes\modules\shipping\item.php locate this code: function quote($method = '') { global $order, $total_count; $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code, 'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_TITLE, 'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code, 'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_WAY, 'cost' => (MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_COST * $total_count) + MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_HANDLING))); change it to function quote($method = '') { global $order, $total_count; $weight_items = 0; for($i=0, $j=count($order->products); $i<$j; $i++) { if( $order->products[$i]['weight'] > 0 ) { $weight_items++; } } $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code, 'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_TITLE, 'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code, 'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_WAY, 'cost' => (MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_COST * $weight_items) + MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_HANDLING))); haven't tested it or anything.

Guest Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Same issue here... I tried editing item.php to add the weight handling. Great idea, and works well if I have one item with no weight, and one with weight of 1... But if I have 5 items with weight of 1 each, the shipping is still only 1.50 total, instead of 7.50 (1.50 x 5). Is something wrong with how this calculates weight?
