Auto add shipping costs for UK - OC 1.5.1
Posted: Thu Nov 17, 2011 1:30 am
Hi,
I've developed a number of OpenCart websites over the past few months for a number of my clients and they're all very impressed with the functionality of the system, apart from the shipping cost process.
Is there anyway OpenCart can be configured or modified to automatically add the shipping costs to the shopping cart? Before the customer has entered their address details?
I've searched through the forums and I can see that a similar question has been asked before but my requirements appear to be slightly different.
I have setup my OpenCart shop to calculate shipping costs using "Weight Based Shipping" and the cost of delivery remains the same regardless of where it is delivered, as we only deliver to addresses within the UK and a UK address is the only option in the checkout.
Is it possible to pre-select the UK delivery country, UK zone/UK geo zone, in the background (perhaps), purely to display the delivery cost in the shopping cart?
Maybe the store address could be used as a guide for the calculation?
Any guidance on this would be much appreciated and I plan to contribute to the forum on a regular basis, as I'm currently managing 5 OC websites, so I should hopefully be able pass on some knowledge!
Thanks,
Rich
