Was wondering if there is a way to set a minimum shipping amount. Say if shipping is calculated at $2.50, but minimum is set to $5.00, it will change the shipping to $5.00 on the checkout. Is there a place to set this in OC, or is there an extension that will do this.

Thanks!

All of my shipping extensions (http://www.getclearthinking.com/shipping-methods) include a "Final Cost Min" field, which works as you describe. What type of shipping setup do you have? How do you calculate your rates?

I only use USPS and UPS and the shipping is calculated from them.

In that case, you'll have to modify the actual USPS and UPS files. You can try making this code change, although I haven't tested it and can't guarantee it will work:

Code: Select all: IN: /catalog/model/shipping/usps.php /catalog/model/shipping/ups.php BEFORE ALL INSTANCES OF: $quote_data[ ADD: if ($cost < 5.50) $cost = 5.50;

Replace 5.50 with your minimum shipping amount.

Thanks, will give that a try and see if it works.

I tried what you said and got this error on both of the files.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/pagancre/public_html/catalog/model/shipping/usps.php on line 1

any idea why it is doing that?
Thanks!

Did you place the code on its own line? It should be on its own line.

Other than that, I can only say make sure you copied and pasted it right. I haven't tested it, but it should work if placed correctly.

yes, i put it on it's own seperate line. above the code you showed.

Was there suppose to only the code that you were showing, because there were other code behind the [ in the file. will give it another try, or can i send you the files and get you to put the code in. I am kinda new to this, so i may be doing something wrong.

thanks!!!

this is an one of the spots i entered it into.

Code: Select all: if ($this->config->get('ups_' . strtolower($this->config->get('ups_origin')) . '_' . $code)) { if ($cost < 5.50) $cost = 5.50; $quote_data[$code] = array(

is this how it should be?
thanks!!!!

Yes, that's right. I just tested it out, and it works fine for me.

hmmm, don't know what is going on.. tried it again and still getting the same errors. any ideas?? can you send me a copy of yours and let me try them?

by **Johnathan** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 12:15 pm

Here's the 1.5.3 version of /catalog/model/shipping/ups.php. It literally only has the change I mentioned, so I'm not sure why it would work for me but not you. You should make sure you're not getting any other errors without the mod. Other than that I'm not sure what to tell you.

will this work with 1.5.2.1, i will give it a try and see.
thanks!!
