Im using market car and shipping works fine for one product:
<input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="4.99">
<input type="hidden" name="shipping2" value="0">
But if you add a different product to the same cart it adds another shipping fee, is there a way to charge a flat fee rate per order using the market cart?
Log onto Paypal and head to the profile page. From here there is a link to set up shipping preferences. I'm not sure but I think from here you can set flat shipping prices, then if you remove the individual shipping price it will use the flat shipping price setup in your own account.

Ya, I actually filled all that out, but it didn't apply when I tested the site out.
Alright, nvm. Open up single.php and find the following:
<input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="shipping2" value="0.5">
<input type="hidden" name="handling" value="0.5">
<input type="hidden" name="tax" value="0.50"/>
–>
Uncomment it so it looks like this…
<input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="1">
Where the value (in this case "1") is the flat rate for shipping on all items. (ex: 5 for $5.00)
Just add this line below it…
Here, the value is how much additional money each additional item will cost. So for example, if shipping (in the example above) had a value of 1, then shipping for 1 item would be a $1. Then with the example below, every addtional item would (should) add an additional $.50 to the shipping total.
<input type=”hidden” name=”shipping2″ value=”0.5″>
Aj,
Thanks for the reply but im affraid that shipping value doesnt work correctly, when you order many quantities of the same product the flat shipping works fine, but the problem comes when you add a few different items, then shipping increases by each different item. to clarify:
- if user orders 25 copies of DVD A, flat fee shipping is applied fine, but if user:
- Orders DVD A, DVD B and DVD C then the shipping rate gets applied 3x which is weird.
here is the link to my store if you want to see what im talking about: http://mmastore.mmamania.com
Hopefully you can see whats going on. Thanks in advanced
Stupid me,
I get what the problem is. The code I provided is for adding items to the cart, which is why the shipping is being thrown in there with each item you add. I'll look into getting it to stay for just the cart as a whole.
Please help.
I want to use the set ship pricing from Paypal but it's not showing up in Market. The shipping I've set in Paypal don't show up and Market adds NO shipping to the orders.
So can someone answer definitively whether Market works with Paypal flat rate shipping or not?
Also there are a couple of documented methods to customize shipping which one is the proper method?
There is:
1) the paymore.rtf from the download page which has a snippet of code. It's similar to the current Market single.php so is this code obsolete?
2) the market product manager plug in. Does this work on items already entered before installing the plug in?
I tried testing on one product with a shipping amount but it never showed up on checkout.
Please advise. I'm setting up a client's store and she's already getting orders but there is no shipping attached to any of them and she currently needs to email the customers about additional shipping.
Thank
Paypal profile based shipping should work the the cart, so long as your client actually has it set up. I know others have used this method (example: this site where the shipping isn't calulated until going to paypal). Setting shipping prices in paypal will show up on the transfer to paypal, but not in the cart itself as the cart can not read the individual settings as defined in Paypal.
The client does have it set up as flat rate shipping with different rates depending on amount.
It does not show up on the transfer to Paypal. I have even put in a complete order through Paypal and the shipping does not go through to Paypal.
Are there any Market files I should be editing?
My site is:
Please. can I get some help with this?
I've even tried adding a shipping charge to an individual item but the shipping is simply not showing up.
I feel really bad because I even recommended market theme to my client and now there seems to be no response on how to fix this problem.
Please advise.
May help you out. I'm not sure if you are US based or not, but if you're not please see the adding shipping preferences for non-us members.
You are currently only using the buy now button, meaning there's no reason in the world that the paypal based shipping isn't working unless it is still not set up 100% correctly, because unlike the cart, the buy now button is exactly the code given directly from paypal. What do you have your shipping calculations based on? Weight? Total order price? Individual order price? Setting the items price in the plugin manager will work if you decide to go that way, but you need the call for the shipping price in the code…
open single.php and add the following
<input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="<?php echo $shipping; ?>">
after…
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="<?php echo $price; ?>">
I'm with Toho on this. If I wanted to use a 'Buy now' button, I wouldn't have needed to buy Market Theme. And I'm tired of having to re-code elements of the theme. Please add variable shipping for local and international buyers!
The solution on the PayPal page you cited just doesn't apply in my case (or many, I'd suspect). The postage cost is based on where the buyer is, not what the item is. So one of my books, for instance, costs 79p to post in the UK and £1.50 to post to Canada. The weight is constant and the price of the book is constant, yet I need to change the amount of the shipping; PayPal makes no allowance for this.
You've said on these boards that you hired someone to write this theme. Is there any way we can contact him or her? There are critical holes in the way this works now, and I'm sure we'd all be willing to pay a small upgrade fee or something if it meant you or we could hire this person again – rather than asking us to spend hours poring over the code, when I'm sure the majority of us aren't programmers, or else we wouldn't have bought a product like this, which promised simplicity.
Hamish, please do some reading before repeating the same question over and over again.
You state you've read on these boards that I hired someone to put together Market – yet you've repeatedly stated this and I've given you the answer multiple times which you continue to ignore. Market is my work, with the cart and backend panel being the only two outsourced pieces.
You aren't expected to spend hours pouring over the code, because you shouldn't have had to. Things could be easier, and that is one of the main goals of Market 4, but do not bash a $55 product which is valued at over $1,000 like it was a wasted investment. I am one person, not a team of 50 people debugging each invidiual problem each person has.
Number 1 – Start with multiple attributes: The multiple attribute hack lets you sell your items at different prices. This means you could have a drop down, in your case for example of hard cover books and soft cover, assigning a different price to each of them. The modifying requires changing two sections of code, all clearly outlined here, and it will take all but 5 minutes. You'll need to overwrite the current version of the Market Product Manager you are using with a new version, which you can grab from here. Now when you go to add a new post and scroll further down, there will be fields for you to specify different options and their matching prices.
Number 2 – Paypal profile based shipping: I appologize in advance. After much researching it appears paypal profile based shipping with international orders is only available to U.S. Customers. Customers outside the U.S. can only set flat rased and weight based automatic calculations apparently and not location depedent shipping. I understand your concern with shipping to regions outside of your own, but at this moment because of your location, is appears there is nothing we can do about this. You're not going to find any system out there that has variable shipping based on location unless you talking about a complete custom system ranging in the thousands of dollars. Systems that do offer this, for example the open source Magento, base their calculations on Fedex, UPS, etc, which does you no good if you just ship your packages regular mail, and I'm not 100% as to whether or not these calculations would work globally either.
