Complex shipping Calculation

Submitted by peyrusse on Thu, 11/10/2011 - 04:58

Hello,

I have a list of products with weights associated.

I want to add a shipping line on my cart that would be calculated from the total product weight of the cart * specific amount that depends on the weight.

Suppose i have these rules :
If shopping cart total weight is 100g then shipping price is 10 €
If shopping cart total weight is 200g then shipping price is 20 €
If shopping cart total weight is 300g then shipping price is 30 €

In that case the shopping cart will look like this, the total weight is 300g so the shipping price is 30 € :
Product 1 - 100 g - 1 €
Product 2 - 150 g - 2 €
Product 3 - 50 g - 3 €
Shipping 30 €

Can you tell me how to apply this rule and add the shipping line to the cart.

Thanks and sorry for my poor english.

Needs a module

I'd dearly love to know how to do this too, but after watching some (great) tutorial videos on Rules and Drupal Commerce, I think this level of functionality requires some coding.

I see that the Commerce Physical Product module provides an API for getting order total weight, so I'm investigating that. Will post back when/if I make progress.

Solution

I made progress :)

Apply the patch here to Commerce Physical Product module : http://drupal.org/node/1344962#comment-5261936

Then you can set up a shipping service for each weight bracket (e.g. 0-1kg, 1-2kg) with corresponding cost.

The patch enables you to easily add conditions to each service (e.g. total weight < 1kg and NOT weight < 2kg).

That's it! Note that the patch only handles kg right now.
