Single surcharge for certain items - whether its 1 or 100

Hi,
(first post!)
We're looking to move our shop to Opencart but one critical function is that if someone buys 1 or more items that requires an overnight service, we need to charge an extra £1 per parcel (up to 30kg).

That's £1 for the whole order, not £1 per special product. So if they order 10 regular items and 1 special item I need to add £1 to the cart, or if they buy 1 regular item and 10 special items I need to add £1 to the cart. NO special items in the cart = no £1 surcharge

Can anyone help me with this?

Kind regards,

Dazzle

Hi Dazzle,

Please look at our per product setup fee module where you can setup fees for the product level. Fees appear as setup fees or I can change to your specific name like custom fees. You can buy the module at our store

Note: We can do any small changes to the module at no extra cost.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply,

So, I could have a fee called 'chilled surcharge' for example, and if any number of chilled products are added to the cart the chilled fee is only added once. Not added for every chilled product.

So chilled products would be say 50 products on a "product level" as you say. If they buy 1 the shop charges them £1 'chilled surcharge' or if they buy 20 the cart ONLY charges them £1 'chilled surcharge'

Chilled goods can only be sold to customers in the UK, but as I understand it, I can restrict products easily and this would be separate to the original query of my post.

We need this work on guest shoppers and registered shoppers everytime they buy a chilled product, as some customers shop every week with us.

Would your module allow the above to work?

Is there a demo of it somewhere?

Many thanks, D

Yes that's right no matter how much quantity you add there will be only one surcharge for that product.

Yes single surcharge for any quantilty of product which will be set in the admin product page. You buy 1 or 50 items of same product surcharge will not change until you add different product with surcharge in the cart. In this case the new surcharge will be added to the previous surcharge. We have not tested this on multi store implementations.

Surcharge applies to all the purchases there is no differentiation from guests to registered shoppers its at product level.

Yes I sent you PM with the access details. If you dont get the email send us a quick note to sales@kedgegroup.com. Do not forget the reference/url to this thread.

This is key for us. Most shops have more than 1 chilled product. We have burgers, mince, sausages, cheeses, deserts, nuggets, slices, rashers etc... so if they buy 3 of each product the cart must only charge them £1 surcharge to cover 24hr delivery and the extra packaging. They can't be charged £1 surcharge for every different chilled product.

The only workaround we can figure would involve making the chilled items extremely overweight and then creating a shippng charge to match but this is crazy. eg. single burger weight = 100kg, shipping table says weight>=100 = £x.xx delivery. Buy 10 burgers and the weight would be 1000kg, so we'd have to hide the info because it looks nuts. The weight of most orders never goes over 8-10kg, but we need some multiple order prices which is why the weight above would have to start at something very high.

I'm no programmer but here's my how I think it should work...
if a product attribute is say X=+1 and if the cart has 5 different chilled items and X=5 then if X>=1 then add £1

Can you or anyone else PM me a quote to write this code for us or can you add it to your existing module?

Many thanks,

Darrell

I sent you access details in PM did you check it ? if not email us at sales@kedgegroup.com from your email.

Hi,
I haven't checked it yet as you said it only works per product not a range of products.
We sell chilled burgers, rashers, sausages, slices etc. If someone buys 1 or any number of these ranges the postage must = overnight shipping.
From what you said I don't think your module can do that?
Thanks for the reply though and let me know if you update your module to include this.

Yes we can try and do that.
