Shipping for virtuemart 2

[imtiyaz.jmi]

Hi,
I am using virtuemart 2.0.4 with joomla 1.7.5. I am searching for a shipping module for this and unable to find. I want the module having country-wise shipping but could find any for VM2. can you please help me to find out one or some method to create my own

[PRO]

go to shipment methods and click "new"

Settings for shipping method are in the Shop Configuration.

I was having a hard time trying to create a shipping method also. Message at top of screen advised that I needed a plugin.

Turns out, when you download Virtuemart and install it, you must unzip it first. In the unzip folder there is a second file. If you install this as an extension through Joomla, you will install the standard shipping plugin and the payment plugin as well.

Then you can create a shipping method, and scratch your head at the configuration choices. Then you can come back here and try to find out more, just like I'm doing.

Good luck.

Hi,

I have managed to add plug-in and set up a flat fee of £4.95 which shows on check-out page. However the flat fee is not being added to the total. Have I missed something?

Thanks.

post a screenshot of the "configuration"

is it assigned to certain countries? etc?

[mccannio]

Thanks for getting back to me. I have attached screenshot - I have not assigned any countries but I just want it to work in the UK only if possible?

Any help with this would be much appreciated as my virtuemart shop is un-usable in it's current state.

Thanks.

you have to fill in the other rates.

especially the "minimum for free shipping"

Thanks for getting back to me. If I just want one flat rate for every order what rates would I fill in please?

1 flat rate would be the "else cost" but you have to fill in the others to where they would never apply.


OR: if you only want a single rate, you can use the weight_countries   plugin.
