Shipping by Rules for VirtueMart

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Plugin development ceased, all plugins made available freely (GPL)

With great sadness we have to announce that we are ceasing development of all our VirtueMart, WooCommerce and Joomla plugins. Effective immediately, all our plugins -- even those that were paid downloads -- are made available for free from our homepage (GPL license still applies), but we cannot and will not provide any support anymore.

It has been a great pleasure to be part of the thriving development communities of VirtueMart as well as WooCommerce. However, during the last year it became painstakingly clear that in addition to a full-time job, a young family and several other time-consuming hobbies at professional level (like being a professional singer) the plugin development and the support that it requires is not sustainable and is taking its toll. It has been an honor, but it is now time to say good bye!

Incremental price on every 6 articles 29 Jan 2015 03:40 #1

Hi reinhold, I just got the advanced version of the plugin, It is awesome btw!

I would like to ask your help about a few questions.

1)
I need to have an initial Shipping price of 6$ for the first 6 articles, after that I need to increase the price for every 6 for example

0-6 articles shipment = 6$
7-12 articles shipment = 12$
13-18 articles shipment = 18$
19-24 articles shipment = 24$

this should be calculated according to the number of articles dynamically.


2) Is there a way to display the total Shipping in the name label?

Something like this

Name=Postage ({shipment}$); ZIP==4 ; Shipping=12*articles


3) If I have 3 possible shipments lets say:

Name=Shipment 1; ZIP==4 ; Shipping=12
Name=Shipment 2; ZIP==5 ; Shipping=14
Name=Shipment 3; ZIP==6 ; Shipping=15
Name=No Shipping available, please check your Shipment Addresses; NoShipping

And none of the first get selected, how do I force to display the NoShipping last rule?, actually in my example it is selecting shipment 3 if I set zipcode to 9




Thank you!

Hello,

1) Basically you want the shipping costs to be 1$ per article, rounded up to the next multiple of 1. So one potential rule (there is not one correct way, but many right ways that yield the correct result):
Shipping=1*ceil(Articles, 6)
The 1* is there just to indicate where you would modify the rule if you want e.g. 2$/article.
This approach uses the feature of the ceil/floor/round functions to specify the unit to round to. In our case, you want the Articles variable to be rounded up to the next multiple of 6, so you give 6 as the second argument to the ceil function.

2) This is currently not possible. I have put it on my list of potential future features, but I can't promise when or even if I will ever implement this.

3) When None of the first three rules match, then the NoShipping rule will automatically apply. For a zip code of 9, Shipment 3 should definitely NOT match. What are your exact rules?

Best regards,
Reinhold

Hi reinhold, thank you for your support.

1) No it is not what I mean, let me explain better:

I will sell bottles,

so from 0 bottles to 6 bottles shipping should be 6$ (it is not 1$ per bottle it could be 8$ or any amount)
from 7 to 12 should be 12$ so the price should increase per 6 bottles this is because I can put only 6 bottles in a box, y the user select 7 bottles I have to use two boxes so I need to charge 12$ (two boxes) if the user selects <=12 bottles it should be 12$ because 12 bottles fit in two boxes, but 13 bottles needs 3 boxes, and so on

2) :( this could be something very useful when the price is not fixed and calculated dinamicaly

3) I just create a new shipment with a clean set of rules and it worked as expected, something should be wrong in my rules

If I set zipcode 999999999 it always return "Northern Territroy Remote" rule

1) Thanks for the further explanation. This was exactly what I tried to say (I mistyped and wrote "multiple of 1" in the first line, while it should have been "multiple of 6"):
Shipping=1*ceil(Articles, 6)

On the other hand, you can also calculate the number of boxes ("ceil(Articles/6)") and multiply with 6:
Shipping=6*ceil(Articles/6)


3) In the "Northern Territory Remote" (note the typo: "Territroy") rule you have "... OR 0853 ...". I suppose you are missing a "ZIP=="?
Without the ZIP==, the 0853 will be interpreted by the computer as true (to a computer, all comparisons and conditions are just functions that have the value 0 or a non-zero value. Non-Zero means True, Zero means false. So "0853" on its own means "True" and thus the rule matches always...

Best regards,
Reinhold
