setting up basic paypal shopping system
Re: setting up basic paypal shopping system
HI BaconFries,
You are a true friend, a brother. Thanks. I did leave the sandbox checked by mistake on those two. However, I just fixed and I still can't select light, medium or dark on the one item.
So I still have a problem.
Thanks so much!!!

Re: setting up basic paypal shopping system
I am trying to figure out how to make the shipping and handling work out. I would like for products that are 1 to 7 ounces charge $7.00 for first item and $3.00 for each item after that on same order? for 16.9 ounces will be $13 for first item and $5.00 for each item added on same package?
Is there a way to do that?
thanks

Re: setting up basic paypal shopping system
Ok bry lets try this...
In the cart button go to Shipping
Shipping and Handling
Set the Base shipping to 0.00 (This wont be called)
Extra shipping set this to 3.00 (this is the secondry hadling cost you need)
Now we need to add a "New Variable" here we are going to set the "First" handling cost, so we go to
Extra Variables in the Edit Hidden Field we set as follows
Name: handling_cart
Value:7.00
Click ok to close and this will give you the effect that you are wanting. If the buyer only adds 1 item to the cart, the total shipping would show as 7.00, 2 items would show as 10.00, 3 items would show as 13.00 and so on. Hope this is what your meaning....

I follow you until you say to "need to add a "New Variable" here we are going to set the "First" handling cost, so we go to
Extra Variables in the Edit Hidden Field". I right click on PayPal ADD TO CART" and see under Shipping Base shipping and Extra shipping. But I do not see the others. Here is a snagit showing Options tap open but you can see the other tabs I see. Where is what you are suggesting?
thanks

Does it matter what is written in the variable? Can it be "handling_charge"?BaconFries wrote:See the following

Re: setting up basic paypal shopping system
No from memory it must be handling_cart as this cost of the handing for the cart ie the PayPal button which is related to this line of code from the cart
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value=" _cart">
My image looks different as I am using Windows 7 Premimum.

Re: setting up basic paypal shopping system
My client tells me that when 4 items are ordered, it requires a box that cost $17 to send to US. Is there a way to make PayPal charge $17 for 4 items?
thanks
thanks

Re: setting up basic paypal shopping system
This may be possible but will require programming. I believe that this is something that you or your client will have to setup via the PayPal account. Please dont quote me on this the following is from PayPal themselves looking for •Total item quantity (flat rate)
To set up shipping calculations:
1.Go to the PayPal website and log in to your account.
2.Click "Profile" at the top of the page.
3.Click the "Shipping Calculations" link in the "Selling Preferences" column.
You can configure domestic or international shipping methods with these options:
•Total order amount (flat rate or percent rate)
•Total order weight (lbs or kg)
•Total item quantity (flat rate)
Re: setting up basic paypal shopping system
How can I use this system to charge $5 per item and a flat rate of $10 for shipping?
thanks BaconFries!!!!

As BF said customizing programming is needed. But you try this ready made template with your WBbry wrote:My client tells me that when 4 items are ordered, it requires a box that cost $17 to send to US. Is there a way to make PayPal charge $17 for 4 items?

Re: setting up basic paypal shopping system
I have set the base to 5 (postage) and extra to 5 (postage) and extra variable to 10 for flat rate handling (cost of box). That works for a single item. For instance, if someone buys 4 of one thing, the charge is $5 x 4 for each for shipping and a flat rate of $10 for a total of $30.
But if a person buys 4 different items, the charge is only $5 which is not right. Sheesh. This is driving me crazy.

Re: setting up basic paypal shopping system
There is no way to do this with PayPal's cart, to my knowledge.

Re: setting up basic paypal shopping system
The only way I know of doing this is by using the Webshop Plus, which allows for shipping based on quantity, than having a "Handling" charge.
So you could set in example $5 per item, plus $10 for Handling, which gets you to the result you want to acheive.

Re: setting up basic paypal shopping system
Is there any way that the basic system can charge a flat rate per order? Like $13 per order would be fine.
Thanks much!!!

Re: setting up basic paypal shopping system

I have set each item button to show price and shipping try this out and let me know if it is what yiou were asking about.... Note you will need the latest build of WB9 to open tis...
Re: setting up basic paypal shopping system
Thanks very much BaconFries. I really appreciate all your help.
Is it possible to just make this system charge $13 per order for S&H = no matter the number of items???

Re: setting up basic paypal shopping system
Based on your info, BaconFries, I juggled some different costs - base, plus extra plus handling_cart and have it about right. Close enough the client says. I could not have done it without you!!!
thanks big time
