I am in he process of setting up shipping for my products. I am going to be selling both hooded sweatshirts and regular T-shirts.
It is possible to set up a flat shipping rate for say the sweater at $5.00 and each addition item to be $1.00. I would like to set up the USPS to do the same thing but I am sure I tech savvy enough to do it.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
You can use the Per Item shipping method to charge $1.00 per item, but it wouldn't include the $5.00 base. You have three options for that set-up:
1. Use the "Handling Fee" Order Total to add that cost in. It would appear as its own line item
2. Edit the Per Item shipping code to hard-code it in like this:
3. Use Item-Based Shipping to set up the $5.00 + $1.00 per item rate.
USPS is not going to be able to do this, although you could possibly hard-code additional costs with edits similar to what I suggested. You'd need to look through the code yourself to see where to add it (hint: around the 'cost' line like above).

Code: Select all
IN:
/catalog/model/shipping/item.php
REPLACE:
'cost' => $this->config->get('item_cost') * $items,
WITH:
'cost' => $this->config->get('item_cost') * $items + 5.00, USPS is not going to be able to do this, although you could possibly hard-code additional costs with edits similar to what I suggested.
