Change shipping message before Country selection
« on: September 18, 2023, 10:46:08 AM »
Hi,
I have different shipping charges based on country destination.
It's almost impossible to set a default, because of the big changes between countries.
Unfortunately if I use One Page checkout, VM displays a misleading message before the user selects his country desitination.
I wonder if there is a method to display a different message before country selection.

Thank you,
The first image is the checkout page, immediately after I enter as guest.
The second is the page after I select a country.

It's not possible to show a shipping rate until the country is known. The message variable is COM_VIRTUEMART_CART_NO_SHIPPING_METHOD_PUBLIC  - you can set a language override for this with a message such as "Shipping will be determined once to specify the shipping country" or change to a blank message so nothing is displayed.
