Calculate shipping as a percentage - Please Help

[Eternity]

Could anyone tell me if it is possible to calculate shipping as a percentage of total order value in VM 2.0.10?

Thanks

Not with the standard shipping plugin. But there are other plugins that can do this:

-) My "Advanced Shipping by Rules" plugin (the free plugin does not support calculations, only the paid "Advanced" version) can calculate general shipping cost functions, including multiples of the order amount:

The appropriate shipping cost rule for the configuration would be (assuming 3% shipping fee):

Code Select Expand

Name=Shipping as percentage of order total; Shipping=0.03*Amount


-) "VM Postcode for Virtuemart" also has a multiplier for the total sales amount:

-) "Price Shipping": Only fixed levels, depending on order amount:

Strange enough, I couldn't find any other amount-dependent shipping plugins...
