I am trying to set the shipping cost for the first item purchased different than the shipping of the subsequent purchases. How do I do this?

like per product or total items in a cart session?

Items in a cart session. I want the shipping for the first cd purchased to be $1.50 and each cd purchased after that (in one session) to be $.50. Can this be done?

as long as it's consistent fer whole cart... yes. it's done in custom shipping logic. If it's not consistent you will need to hire a pro to help ya.

code to add to the shipping logic would like like this:

$shipping_price = 1.5;
if (($total_quantity) > 1){
$shipping_price = $shipping_price + (($total_quantity - 1) * .50);
}

That should paste into the shipping box somewhere... but play with it :)

This worked great for me! Thanks!

Is there a way to create shipping logic based on product and not total cost? I have a downloadable product I do not want to charge shipping.

Here's the logic I use on my static html page:

<FORM METHOD = "post" ACTION = "http://www.netnia.com/cgi-bin/store/agora.cgi">
<INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "cart_id" VALUE = "%%cart_id%%">
<INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "product" VALUE = "">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="item-00001|plays|17.00|Positive Children Plays eBook||0.00" VALUE="1">
<p align="center">
<font face="Verdana">
<b><font color="#000080"><font size="4">Instantly Download the eBook Today!</font><br>
$17.00</font></b></font><b><font size="4">
</font></b>
<INPUT TYPE="image" NAME="add_to_cart_button" VALUE="Add To Cart" SRC="http://www.netnia.com/cgi-bin/store/picserve.cgi?picserve=/order_today.gif" BORDER="0" align="center">
</p>
<p align="center">
</FORM></td>

This only works when I turn off shipping logic. If I turn it on, it doesn't work. Here's my shipping logic in manager.

$ship_method =$select=$form_data{'Ecom_ShipTo_Method'};

if ($select =~ /Priority Mail/i)
{
$shipping_price = $shipping_price + 1.00;
}
elsif ($select =~ /Air Mail Canada/i)
{
$shipping_price = $shipping_price + 2.00;
}
elsif ($select =~ /Air Mail World/i)
{
$shipping_price = $shipping_price + 3.00;
}
elsif ($select =~ /Express Overnight Mail/i)
{
$shipping_price = $shipping_price + 13.90;
}
$shipping_logic_done = "true";

I want to charge shipping for other shipped items (hard back books) and add more shipping if the customer chooses rush delivery such as priority mail or express mail. Agora is an incredible product and I know it can do this. I just don't know where to begin.

Check the message archives in the agora2 forum on Yahoo

I bellieve the subject line was
Free Shipping 1 Item

I don't recall if the person found a solution or not, and don't have the time right now to check.

Thanks everyone for your support but I think we fixed the problem. Believe it or not, the solution is posted on the agoracart under hacks/mods. Great stuff Mr. Ed and Steve. Thanks.

My client and I have spent quite a few hours over the past couple months... Has anyone here gotten the UPS shipping by weight and destination to work? i.e. were it asks for the API url, the feedback we get from UPS is they dont know what we are talking about. Is there some other item I should be asking them for that goes into that field so we can integrate live time shipping caluclations with UPS?

there is no UPS API URL.

put in yer weights for each individual product (entered thru the database), select SBW as yes, select UPS as yes, then enter teh origin zip and the method of pickup.
