I need a separate (additional) line for extra costs in checkout shipping calculation.
Currently I figured it with Advanced Shipping by Rules but shipping costs are calculated in one line with a summary
of standard + extra costs.
I would like to have it this way:
Shipping:
Sample Product 5 kg 5 EUR
Additional Fee (large products) 4,90 EUR
Currently I have only one line with total 9,90 EUR
Is there a way that vm takes more than one rule to add shipping costs ?
When I create a second rule vm always offers customer to change/select a shipping method...
Or is there another Plugin which works this way ?
Thank you.
The simplest way to is to change the way Adv Rules displays its result
Its just a string - you could add/ overide the function
protected function getPluginHtml ($plugin, $selectedPlugin, $pluginSalesPrice) {
to get the display u want
VM will not accept 2 returns for shipping
alt. you could add it as perhaps a custom field of the product

Hm - but how to add/override the function..?
Quotealt. you could add it as perhaps a custom field of the product
Tried that but it does only add a text description near the product and add the fee to the product price.
No extra/separate price for the additional costs.
Oh - and the additional fee should be country dependent...
So we need a function where we can configure additional shipping cost (bulky products) to the standard shipping rules.
And it should not only be caclulated in backend - customers should see the basic shipping price (weight) + in a separate line the additional costs (for buly products) for each product or for the complete order.
...further on:
packing costs should also be a separate line in checkout page as customers can not see what the price for shipping and packing is; there is only one value (calculated shipping+packing).
I googled some around and found that most shop software (magento, showare, gambio, woocommerce...) have these features right now.
Found no extension for VM which can do that.
I´m still looking for a solution for calculating shippint costs with "bulky goods" in Cart, Oder confirmation and Invoice.
I tried out open tools some times ago but in free version it was not included - only in Pro-Version which was expensive.
No open tools is completely free but it will not anymore be updated because development is closed.
Now I´m sill looking for a solution - does any one else have an idea how to fix that ?
Hopefully there will be an option in VM Standard .....?
There is a supported plugin by Alatak - she works with the VM development team so keeps the plugin up-to-date.

Try simply add
contact before
@alatak.net, i think it's the right email address.
Adding a hidden category bulk to the products and using a tax rule will work too.

HM - must try it.
What happens when 2 bulky good products are in the shopping cart - will the fee calculated twice than ?

Made a test but i see that the additional fee per invoice before or after tax is it is not visible in order total what the tax fee is
for the modificated price.
After tax per invoice => no additional Tax fee is calculated in order total
Before tax per invoice => additional Tax fee is calculated only in last line of order total. In the line of the price modification only the price including tax is visible.
In column "TAX" is empty, "price modification" is the amount including tax (6 EUR + 19% = 7,14 EUR)
?
It seems that the rules have no effect to show taxes of price modifications....BUG ??

GJC already wrote above where the email address is to be found. To reduce the spam mails for her, we don't need to repeat the address in plain text here.
Just read GJCs post again. I found it after a maximum 10 seconds after reading his post.
I wrote to the email address which is only visible in the legal information when you search the complete text (in germany you would have been warned).
But no answer since 21.07. - perhaps holiday - don`t know...
Go to https://alatak.net/ on the bottom left you have the email link
I`m just trying around with taxes and rules and the solution is near.
Link here with a small tax problem:

If you use additional taxes, you can add your own rules with a vmtax plugin.
I have add for eg a discount per user and categories for a shop, this is set in the database for each customer.
I don`t want to use additional taxes.
Only an additional rule but the tax is not be shown separately.
The rule would work fine for me to add an additional upcharge for bulky goods (defined in the article rules) but
in cart it does not look fine because the tax of the rule is not separated in the tax column....
Know what I mean ?
