Ship to multiple addresses in Webshop Plus

Post by jeff11214 »

If a customer is purchasing multiple items and wants them shipped to more then 1 address, how can I accomplish this in Webshop Plus?

There would be an additional fee to have the item shipped to each additional address.

Thanks
Jeff

You can't (easily) do this, you would need to heavily modify the code.

Thanks for your quick response.
This option is something I will need for my site. Can you point me in the right direction to research this or can I have this code put in place for a fee?

Thanks

As I mentioned, it requires heavily modifying the code. Furthermore, one would need to know if there should be a fixed, maximum number of shipping addresses, or if the shipping addresses number should be dynamic (meaning adding as many as required).
Calculating the shipping fees per ietm AND delivery address is also another issue, not so much technically as time required to do it.
You would probably also need another intermediate step in the process, to define deliveries and re-calculate shipping.

Since this is not a Database driven cart, this becomes even harder.

I believe that this would require at least 12 - 14 hrs of work by an experienced coder to accomplish and test, so the cost would be too high.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure how to point you anywhere, as this is a specific code, so there are no examples on how to modidy it.

If the cost of the above programming time is within your badget you can contact me through my site.
But at this point, I don't think that you should limit yourself with Webshop Plus, you should be looking at some DB driven cart (like my own Webshop Pro)
