Hello everyone,
I am trying to attempt to create the shipping for my site.
I was looking at this post -
http://mezzanine-users.narkive.com/AOk7Y6Kl/cartrige-custom-shipping-by-country-and-product-category
which I thought was at the right track. I need to set shipping cost
for countries as well as different cost for quantity.
If more than 5 items bought, the calculation of shipping would cost
more than one item.
However, Melvyn Sopacua
*su*ggested something I did not quiet understand.
here as quoted -
If this is the extent of your shipping rules, you may get away with this
approach. From experience with other shopping carts, I highly suggest you
implement a rule-based approach as opposed to a property approach.
Approach like an email filter:
- You define a state formulated by a set of conditions
- Which result in one or more actions
- And has post-processing flags, like "stop further rule processing if
used"
The implementation is more complex, but the resulting flexibility is
worth it
and much of the code can be reused for different types of business
logic, like
follow-up emails, discounts and available payment methods:
- Send a "please review our product" reminder, if customer has not
reviewed
and has received product x days ago.
- Give 10% cart discount to customers who have spent at least x
ammount last
year and don't apply any other cart discount rules
- Offer "Pay within 30 days" payment method only to customers of the
customer
group "B2B" with credit limit > order ammount
- Don't offer 24 hour delivery if shipper api qualifies customer
address as
'rural'

Has anyone done the shipping and is it possible to view the code?
I've got some custom shipping rules in my variation of Cartridge (along
with a number of other changes).
I've tried to summarise all the shipping rule related changes in this gist:
https://gist.github.com/molokov/36ab544df43efb224719d300761612a4
Essentially:
- Product Variations now have weight, and boolean "pickup
available"/"shipping available" options
- There's a ShippingRule model which allows you to define the rules
within admin.
The rules define a) a weight range, b) whether you care about the
pickup/shipping options, and c) a country regexp - and a corresponding
price. The order of the rules is important.
- Users are presented with valid shipping options in a drop down during
the payment step of checkout (after entering their shipping address). If
there's no matching rule, an error will be shown.
What I have is probably beyond what you need, and as you can see I've
touched the code in a lot of places (and mind you, this was over a year
ago, so my cartridge fork isn't quite up to date with the latest
master), but hopefully it will point you in the right direction.
The changes to checkout.py (especially shippingrule_billship_handler)
and models.py/admin.py are probably the key things you may need.
Hope this helps a little.
Seeya. Danny.
