Shipping with Insurance

[aomegax]

Hi, I must add insurance to shipping cost but it is calculated on taxable income (1% on price without VAT cost) which total up to fix cost of shipping.
I have inserted in backend a field where I insert insurance value...but now I don't know where I can calculate 1% of order cost and sum to shipping cost.

Can help me, please?

Hey,

I would make the change in my shipping class directly, and you can just provide a note on the shipping page itself that the shipping total includes 1% insurance.

For example, if I'm using flex shipping, I'd make the change to the list_rates function in flex.php, and the $total is available right there. Depending on whether tax is included in the total, you'd either use $total or ($total - $tax_total) for your calculation.
