Post shipping by weight question 
Hello. I am new at the shopping cart and don't completely understand the shipping settings. I want to charge my shipping based solely by weight. The amounts are less than 21 lbs = $10, 21lbs - 41 lbs = $15, and more than 41 lbs = $20. I have one item that is a gift certificate and has a shipping charge of $3 regardless of its weight and amount purchased. I was wondering if you could tell me what I need to put in the Custom Shipping Logic section?

Also I want to only ship by USPS. What is the username and password that it is asking for, and where do I go to register?

Thanks in advance. I really appreciate your help.

For the custom shipping logic, you won't need the USPS username (the password is no longer required by USPS anymore, anyway). You will also need to turn off the SBW module.
For your gift certificate, just add a hidden option that includes the shipping charge, something like:
Code:

<input type=hidden name="option|100|%%PRODUCT_ID%%" value="Gift Certificate Shipping|3.00">

For the weight of the gift certificate, just put "0" in the shipping field of the database.

Then, answer "yes" to the following questions:
Use the custom shipping logic?
If using Custom Logic, is shipping measured by weight?

In the custom shipping logic box put:
Code:

@sc_shipping_logic = ( "|||.001-21.000|10.00",
                       "|||21.001-41.000|15.00",
                       "|||41.001-|20.00");

$shipping_price = &calculate_shipping($temp_total,
                 $total_quantity, $total_measured_quantity);

If you use only 1 shipping method then you could just put a hidden field in the order form , something like:
Code:

<input type=hidden name="Ecom_ShipTo_Method" value="Standard Shipping">


HTH!

Where would I put this hidden text tag in the order form? Also where does the gift certificate hidden tag go? I am not that familiar with coding.

Thanks for all of your help I really appreciate it.

For the shipping just replace all of the shipping method html code in the order form with the code I gave you above.

Thank you for your help..... One more question... What is the file name for the order form that I need to change the html in. If I am using the offline payment setup...is it the offline-orderform.html located in the forms folder that I need to add the hidden tags to?
