Right now I say :thumbdown: to Oscommerce.. I've been trying to figure this out and have been lost for the last few hours or so. I know others have wanted this option so it can't just be me :rolleyes1:

Anyways lots of the recommended fixes are either really old or have a half dozen fixes along with it.

I am trying to figure out how to make multiple shipping options. Any ideas?

Nobody? I can't be the only one that wants to offer more than one way to ship :( Is there a better cart out there? I temp installed ZenCart and it has more shipping options, but not as many as I was hoping.

Sorry you haven't received a response to your query but it's possible that nobody has an answer for you. I have never used a shopping cart so I cannot offer any assistance in that area. Maybe one of our members will come by and help out.

I do run an online shopping site but the transactions are handled through store software elsewhere. I didn't have the time to learn a shopping cart.

Paypal offers shopping cart integration. Maybe that's an option for you.

I use Zencart and it works for me.

Have you checked the Zencart forums for additional shipping info?

What do you want to do shipping-wise that you can't do with the regular installation?

Thank you for the responses :)

I think I've done this before.. I will post because I can't figure something out.. and then while I am waiting for responses, I'll mess around with it and end up figuring it out :lol:

I basically wanted to offer the customer multiple shipping options.. For example, $2 for the slowest shipping, $5 for a bit faster, $10 for fast and Free for local pickup :)

There are a few osC modules that will do what you want. Two I'd suggest are ...

http://www.oscommerc...tiple+flat+rate
(if you want it a set of flat rates as in your example)

or

http://www.oscommerc...iple+table+rate
(if you want to vary the amount based on weight)

Hope that helps :)
