How to add insurance fee to shipping price

[servlet]

Hello
There is only one option in shipping plugin
Shipment Cost: $5
How to add insurance fee which is % of total cart price (0,2%)

Every one shipping company has such option but we cannot apply it in our webshop.

You don't say what shipping method you use...

but normally u need to code that into it if it isn't present

Thank you for replay
I am talking about
VM shipment - by weight, ZIP and countries

I think this is a missing option of VM core

There is such option in standard payment plugin...

[GJC Web Design]

perhaps so... but the code would be relatively simple if u look in the getCosts function of that plugin

GJC Web Design, thank you for replay
It may be is simple, but I dont have PHP coding skills. If I have such skills I will do it without forum questions.
It will be nice if someone did it while drinking your morning coffee...

Whilst it may be simple for someone who has a good understanding of the code, it is not a quick task.  Things need to be developed and tested, which takes time.  In addition, if this modifies the core then you would have issues whenever you updated.

Adding a parameter is considerably more work than "hard coding" a value.

You could possibly employ someone to do this work for you.

Insurance is a cost specific to each compagny.
You have a fixed rate, but in other case this can depend the total in cart or why not fixed price for 1 shipping.
VM shipment - by weight, ZIP and countries is a basic plugin, when you don't find another specific to your shipping compagny.
You can chek http://extensions.virtuemart.net/checkout/shipments/pro-shipment-detail, that include more options.

Studio 42 Thank you for directions...
Yes I have fixed rate + % form total cart. That is what I am looking for.
Yes each company has own rate for insurance, but if this option exist in shipping plugin, it is not a problem to set it.

I cant see such option in PRO SHIPMENT plugin. Is it possible to quote exact text from description.
