Hi! Is there way to add shipping costs per product or categories so that all shipping costs with different products are counted up in checkout?
I'm building webstore where different products are sent to customer from different manufacturers so there is need that some products have their own shipping costs.
I don't know how to make virtuemart to work that way
You could use control categories for that, combined with the standard shipping plugin.
See:

Hi, I have already tested to create a couple of shipping method to different categories but when I go to checkout, there is only one shipping method and cost chosen even if I have products with different shipping methods in cart.
I have just completed a new VM3 / J3 shipping per sku component/plugin
You can test it at http://test.gjcwebdesign.com/joomla343/hats
these are the only products configured with a sku->ship rate, the rest will take the default rates
I have the debug on so u can see what is happening
attached a couple of screenshots but basically every product is separately configurable for shipping with complex quantity rates and international surcharges
In the cart each of these are added together to reach the total shipping
If no rate is set for any product the default is used
email me at webmaster at gjcwebdesign.com if interested
HI, I'm not sure is this what I need. Can default shipping be used as I need in VirtueMart? Why is it not working if there can be added different shipping methods for different categories?
because only ONE method is ever sent to the order.... it is how the cart works
I need different shipping costs to different products and different rates to them, for example if total of products from one category is over xxx, cost is smaller etc. So is there anything I can do or do I have to forget Virtuemart?
just repeating your question will just give you the same answer
if you want per item shipping costs with quantity rules I have shown you a solution...
