There have been a few requests forthe ability to offer different flat rate shipping options, based on order amount.

Let's say that you wanted to offer 2 flat rate shipping charges based on the order total.

For example:

Order total $0.00 to $100.00 = $6.50 shipping
Order total $100.01 to and up = $9.50 shipping

This functionality can be added to the Market Theme system without a whole lot of trouble.  

Here's how…

Open up your "cart.php" file for editing.  (This file is located in the "ajCart/" folder of the Market Theme files area.)

On or around line #100, you will find this line of code:

Disable the line by changing it to this:

Next, on or around line #104 you will find this line of code:

For this support post example, we will use the shipping rates as outlined above.  So, immediately AFTER this line, enter the following lines:

Save the file, and that's it.

To take this a step further..  Let's say you actually wanted 4 shipping ranges like this instead of 2:

Order total $0.00 to $100.00 = $6.50 shipping
Order total $100.01 to $200.00 = $9.50 shipping
Order total $200.01 to $300.00 = $12.50 shipping
Order total $300.01 and up = $15.50 shipping

For a scenario like this, you would simply add two more lines of code in similar fashion as you just did, only changing the range of the Grand Total.  

So, for this new example you would instead enter these lines:

Save the file, and that would do it.

Yes, that's right.

For those wanting to do pricing based on the number of items, instead of adding the code:

if ($GrandTotal > 0) { $ShippingTotal = 6.50; }
if ($GrandTotal > 100.00) { $ShippingTotal = 9.50; }
if ($GrandTotal > 200.00) { $ShippingTotal = 12.50; }
if ($GrandTotal > 300.00) { $ShippingTotal = 15.50; }
$checkout .='<input type="hidden" name="shipping_1" value="'.$ShippingTotal.'" />';

you could do something like this, based on the quantity of items.

For example:  

    For 1-6 items = $6.50

    For 7-30= $9.50

    For 31 – 72= $12.50

    For 73 and above = $15.50

// Set shipping rate based on total order quantity            
$totalquan=$totalquan+$crtQuantity[$item];    
if ($totalquan > 0) { $ShippingTotal = 6.50; }
if ($totalquan > 6) { $ShippingTotal = 9.50; }
if ($totalquan > 30) { $ShippingTotal = 12.50; }
if ($totalquan > 72) { $ShippingTotal = 15.50; }
$checkout .='<input type="hidden" name="shipping_1" value="'.$ShippingTotal.'" />';

By your code listed, it appears correct that if a user has a quantity of 5 (ie. greater than 4), then the shipping total should be $9.50.

However, I did notice something else on your site.  Your images and shopping cart aren't showing up correctly.

Go into your Market Theme settings area and change your image path settings from "absolute" to "relative" and save.

Make sure that your images are now showing up.  Also check your shopping cart contents page, to make sure it shows correctly.

If it doesn't, then would I be correct in guessing that your hosting account is through Hostgator? 

If so, let me know and I can direct you to a help page for that.

After that's working, then let's proceed on this shipping total question.

Yes, I guess with the release of version 4.2 — these instructions above are out of date.

I'll try to get together the code changes necessary and post back here.

So, did you change "#item" back to "$item" then?

You also may need to make sure the "register_globals" variable is turned "off" in your "php.ini" hosting configuration file.

Here are more details on that process.
