AgoraCart is fantastic but I'm stuck with this problem.
I need to charge my shipping by state. I have the logic in place and all would be done if I can find a method to recalculate the shipping when I hit the 'Verify Order' button.

I now realise the shipping is recalulated when the Verify Order button is pressed. I corrected my shipping logic and everything is fine now.

hmmm. is there a question in there or did you resolve it?

some stuff...
custom shipping logic is usually added and displayed thoughout the session where realtime api stuff is dependant on zip code which isn't a known factor until step two of checkout.

to change values for either system encorporated you must first choose state or zip code (depending on the method) in step one of checkout. when submitted, the charges for shipping will show a final value. if someone decides "overnight" is too expensive, for example, then they can click on make changes and choose 2day. when submitted the shipping charges in step two should reflect the lessor cost. if zip code is changed in step one then there maybe a price differencial if cost is based on zip (api thingie - usually).

btw, becareful about overnight deliveries and other really fast delivery. most orders will be legit. but stolen cc will almost alwyas use over night or next day.

Thanks, my problem is solved now. The problem was how to get the shipping to update when the postcode is entered at step two.

I only ship to Australia and I wanted to give my customers the absolute best freight deal and to do this I needed to ship by state.

I put this into the shipping logic and it worked. I'm new here and this may not be a good solution but my shipping is exactly how I want it.

#less than .5kg FREE Shipping
#basic shipping cost (eg: between .6 and 20 kg $5.45) ...
@sc_shipping_logic = ( "|||0-.5|0.0",
"|||.6-20.0|5.45",
"|||20.1-40.0|10.90",
"|||40.1-60.0|16.35",
"|||60.1-80.0|21.80",
"|||80.1-100.0|27.30",
"|||100.1-120.0|32.75",
"|||120.1-140.0|38.20");


#Shipping to NSW so add an additional 50cents per kg and $1.65 surcharge
if (($form_data{'Ecom_ShipTo_Postal_StateProv'}
) eq ("NSW")) {
$nsw=($total_measured_quantity*.5)+1.65;
$shipping_price = &calculate_shipping($temp_total,
$total_quantity, $total_measured_quantity)+$nsw;

}

if (($form_data{'Ecom_ShipTo_Postal_StateProv'}
) eq ("WA")) {
<snip more states>

Cheers

The above example bases on matching the exact string e.g. "NSW". Is there wild card or "or" statement so I can use with post code instead?

for example, postcode 2000-2300 one rate, and 2600 another rate?

You would need to set up for each postal code, it won't identify a range.
But you can do something like:


HTH!
