Hi,
I have a problem on shipping configuration.
I wold like that shipping cost is based on zone shipping and weight of the products.
So I create 2 shipping zone (admin->configuration->locazation->Geo zone):
- Italy;
- Europe;
Then, under "extension->shipping->zone", I enabled the 2 shipping zone (also using 2 kind of prices based on the weight).
-Shipping in Italy --> Italy cost: 0.5:5, 5:3
-Shipping in Europe --> Italy cost: 0.5:10, 5:5
I disabled the other kind of shipping methods ("Per Item Rate" and "Flat Rate").
The problem is that when I chekout, there are no kinds of shipping methods!
If I try to enable one of the other methods of shipping, the "zone shipping" likes nonexistent....
Where is my error??
thanks!

Be sure that the shipping geo zone you've allowed matches the shipping zone of the customer account

I try to explain how I configurated the zone shipping:
1) Admin-->configuration-->localisation-->geo zone.
2) I created 2 zone: "Europa" and "Italy" (these names must correspond to users' country rquest during registration??) (image "sch1.jpg);
3) Extension-->shipping-->zone.
4) I edit the zone configuration like image "sch2.jpg"
5) I disabled all other kinds of method payments
6) I login like a customer
7) I put a produc into the cart, then I checkout

There aren't any payments methods to choose! (image "sch3.jpg")
How can I configure this shipping method?? I've already read this faq:
http://forum.opencart.com/index.php/top ... l#msg13496
but I don't found these points:
- "Click on the yellow folder icon to the left of the title" ---- I don't see any yellow folder in geo zone page
- "From the 'Country' dropdown, choose 'United States'" ----- in geo zone page, there are no dropdown lists, but only the request fields visible in sch1.jpg image
- "From the 'Region / State' dropdown, choose an individual state, or choose 'All Zones' for the same rate to all 50 states & provinces" ----- same problem of country dropdown......
I use opencart version 0.7.9
please, could you explain me poit to point how to do?
thank you vary very much

After creating a geozone, you need to click the yellow folder icon to set the actual country

Is it possible to discriminate only one or two shipping zones to the others?
for example:
- shipping in Italy costs 3 € until 100 kg;
- shipping in France costs 5 € until 100 Kg;
- shipping in all other zones of the world costs 10 € until 100 Kg.
one another question: during checkout, Opencart proposes the shipping method according to the customer's address?
for example:
I am an american customer. During checkout opencart proposes me automatically the shipping method "ship to USA" (if the seller has configurated, in backoffice, the zone shipping method)??
thanks a lot!

We are still working out a way to do an "all other zones" method.

It matches the GeoZone that you set in the yellow folder area.
Country and region/state

ok thanks, it would be useful to have the opportunity to choose "all other zones".
ciao!
