Rush Order - checkout option

we'd like to allow some orders to display a Rush Order option at checkout

Rush Order would display as a checkout option if:

1. order is within a certain price range (if too large then not display cuz of time constraints)
2. is ordered by a certain time of day (if late in day, then not display, or you can turn this feature off)
3. if no restricted items are in the order (some items might not be good for rush orders, thus not allow them)
4. if within an allowed geo-zone(s) (not get snagged with a rush order to be shipped a million miles away)
5. if within a certain weight range (some items are inexpensive but very heavy, a large order of these might not work well for rush orders)
6. if within a total order value (so a huge order would not display a rush option)
7. if within a certain quantity range for specified items (if 10,000 personalized tshirts are ordered, these would not allow a rush order due to quantity - yes, i know order value would probably catch this too but would be cool to have a quantity trigger per item as well)
8. if choosing only certain shipping services like USPS Express
9. also, if using only certain payment methods (not pay by check for instance cuz would need to wait for check, thus kinda defeating the whole idea)

Extensions top right given rush orders turns up entries, might be worth puttering through them.

i looked around first, so far nuttin specific enough

thanks Q, snagged it

now i gotta find a Made In USA mod, something i can identify whatever items as Made In USA, search them, pull them up as a group, and even have a slider module that can go on the homepage

Part of that would seem covered several ways, perhaps last is simplest. (1) Enable Manufacturers, enter USA in appropriate products, and search for USA, just to gather them. (2) Go into host control panel's phpMyAdmin, get into the right table to browse, click the field label at the top to sort by it, checkmark the USA items, and ship them to yourself (a few extra steps). (3) Draw down db (or specific tables), open them, such as with Oracle's workbench or other suitable means, or even simple editors if you're accustomed to db tables. (4) Use something like JNeuhoff's free export/import tool, then when the products are in the spreadsheet sort the field for USA, and go from there (you'll already know how to do spreadsheet-think).

You could use the Manufacturers field and create manufacturers as
USA
FOREIGN

Then just assign the manufacturer to the products.

Change the title in the manufacturers page to "Made In" and they can click USA or Foreign

-EDIT- sorry just saw Butte had the same advice.

Another idea would be to set the Attribute to USA and get one of the Attribute filter modules from the extension store and filter by USA

thanks Q and butte

Welcome. You'll have a bit more to do before you reach Solved.

Depending upon what you sell and how you want to utilize the alphabet, a further way to sort them but at the outset is by product title itself, such as by starting all of these with USA rather than usual clustering by T-Shirt or Whatever. However, if you use the tool as in (4) above, you could not only Find/Replace to insert USA, but also avoid doing that by just sorting the field/column to get the USA list.
