[Johnathan]

Current Version: v155.1 (release notes)

OpenCart Versions: 1.4.8 - 1.5.5.x

Demo Links: Front Demo and Admin Demo

To Purchase: Visit OpenCartX

This extension allows you to set fees or discounts based on the manufacturers of the products in the cart. You can create as many different manufacturer-based rates as you need, each with their own title (for each language), tax class, associated stores, currencies, customer groups, geo zones, cost brackets (item-based, postcode-based, total-based, volume-based, or weight-based), and final cost adjustments.

• Upload and go — modifies no core files.
  
• Take advantage of the easy-to-use admin panel interface, with the ability to directly edit all front-end language text. Examples of how to set up shipping rates are also included right in the admin panel.
  
• Restrict the fee/discount from appearing based on store, currency, customer group, geo zone, item length, item width, item height, number of items, order total, volume, weight, postcode, and date.
  
• Set the fee/discount charge as a flat rate, as a per item rate, or as a percentage of the sub-total, taxed sub-total, or total.
  
• Combine multiple manufacturer-based rates into one final cost, taking the Average, Highest, Lowest, or Sum of the active rates.
  
• Utilize 0.00 costs to hide the fee/discount when it is not necessary.
  
• Choose to have the final charge be the highest cost bracket reached, or the cumulative total of all brackets reached.
  
• Adjust the final cost by setting additional, minimum, and/or maximum values, or round it to a nearest value of your choosing.
  
• Enter cost brackets all at once by pasting data directly from a spreadsheet application.
  
• Select whether to compare geo zones against the customer's Shipping Address or Payment Address.
