E-Commerce Shipping Options
Is it possible to add shipping options based on different product types?

For instance if a seller has gift certificates for 0 shipping and has TVs for 100 dollar shipping as well, can I add shipping options that take this into consideration? The way it appears, Kentico handles shipping with flat rates; which does not work for our implementation.

Also, can I add options to products themselves that affect the price? Examples of these options are different colors or features. Or would I have to create an entirely different product?

Has anyone added tracking features to their implementation?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Daniel Svensson

RE:E-Commerce Shipping Options
Hi Daniel,

Regarding the shipping - unfortunately this feature is not available, I mean it is not natively supported yet, but it will be added soon. In the mean time, you need to develop custom shipping calculation as it is described in this overview and example (you need to use custom provider) - devnet.kentico.com/docs/ecommerceguide/overview10.htm.

Regarding the product options:
Yes, this is possible. You can configure the price for the product and also then the price for product option. For example:
You have product A with price 100 dollars. To this product are assigned two options - Black and White. The price for the options can be zero, plus value or negative value. Lets say that black option price is 10 and white -10. Now, when the customer will select the black option, the final price will be 110 dollars. If the white option is selected, the final price is 90 dollars. I hope it makes sense, for more details please see - devnet.kentico.com/docs/ecommerceguide/product_options.htm and devnet.kentico.com/docs/ecommerceguide/adding_product_option.htm.

What kind of tracking functions you mean? Thank you.

Best Regards,
Juraj Ondrus

Hi Juraj,
I have the same problem. I need to add shipping costs based on total order amount.

Does exists a standard solution?

Thank you.
