How to use flat rate shipping AND offer Pick Up from Store at checkout

[themonimey]

Hi - we have been banging our heads on this one - we want to apply a flat rate shipping to each product loaded to the store and when a customer purchases it, the shipping rate we selected will display in the cart. BUT, we also want to offer the choice of PICK UP FROM WAREHOUSE so that when selected, the shipping rate goes to $0.00. Any pointers will be appreciated.  Thanks.

Did you study custom shipment extensions in 3rd Party VM forum section?

Pickup=StandardVMShipment. Use built in VM standard shipment method for this. Just name it as "Pickup".

Thanks for the input Maxim - yes, we had tried that but still no success.

Any other thoughts on what we could try?  Thnx

No success with pickup, or with flat rate shipping to each product?

Sorry Maxim - I wasn't clear. We can add 'Pick Up From Warehouse' but we cannot set it for a flat rate shipping on a product by product basis. We want to show the shipping cost added at checkout but if customer selects the 'Pick Up From Warehouse' option, that cost is deleted from the total purchase price.  Thanks for your patience..

Hi Maxim,

I need on checkout page:
There will be only two options of shipment method displayed on "change shipment"
1. Pick from warehouse(static)
2. Shipping cost: eg:$100(dynamically and automatically changed based on product "shipping cost=>custom field" on product detail

*Client loading shipping cost to custom field from the backend

what is the best way to do this?

So you didn't find VIRTUEMART FLAT RATE SHIPPING there?

Hi Maxim, currently my VM version is Virtuemart 2.2,

i don't want to use filter(autoselect) by product weight,  i want to use shipment by product SKU or anything that can calculated shipping price based product attribute instead of "weight" how may i possible to do this?

i have been visiting forum, there was shipping by SKU but no longer available for VM 2.2,
visiting forum shipping extentions for VM brings to shipment methods, most of them are commercial.

Thank you for any help..

I haven't much experience in creating custom shipment plugins for VM2.

I would better buy solution for flat rate case. For $37 only.

BUT

If you don't want to pay such amount of money for this you could start development of your custom shipment extension for VM2.

Everyone could try to develop plugins for VM2. Plugins - is a big plus for deciding complex tasks in VM2 for anyone.

Rolland Darwis, did you already check documentation/threads about developing plugins?
