UPS Shipping Increments

We need to have shipping set up as follows:

One product is 1 lb, 14 oz.

For shipping 1 product = 2 lbs
however if customer orders:
2 products, charge for 3 lbs.
3 products, charge for 4 lbs.
4 products, charge for 5 lbs.

handling charge for order $5.00

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thanks

In the UPS Server behavior, enter the following code for the weight:

<?php echo (abs($eCart1->DisplayInfo("Quantity")>1)?$eCart1->DisplayInfo("Quantity")+1:($eCart1->DisplayInfo("Quantity")*2)); ?>

you will also need to create a second shipping rule to apply the flat rate $5 charge.

Thank you,

but is it possible to have

1 - 2 lb package be charged for 2 lbs
1 - 4 lb package be charged for 3 lbs
etc?

So you want the weight to be calculated differently on an item by item basis? is this what you mean?

We have talked with the client and he in not interested in calculating on an item by item basis anymore. We are having much more serious problems now with the checkout process.

When My assistant uses PayPal to checkout, it works for her, but when I do it through PayPal it goes to checkout failure page or your cart is empty page.

We also tried to implement the script you gave us for shipping options via air, ground express etc. Once we implemented the script it said :
missing - illegal service - code

We have since changed the script back to where it was before the shipping options. You can see it at order.php

see the "Debugging eCart transaction failed issues" tutorial on the eCart support page:
ecart/

for the shipping problem, see my reply to your other thread.

I want to use this code also, but when I choose "Server Behaviors" (in the Applications panel) I see nothing with UPS in the listing...

The eCart UPS Shipping server behavior will be applied to the confirm.php page or the pp_confirm.php page for PayPal Express Checkout.

I'm uncertain as to where on the confirm page this code goes?

Also, how does the code affect Weight when it only refers to Quantity?

<?php echo (abs($eCart1->DisplayInfo("Quantity")>1)?$eCart1->DisplayInfo("Quantity")+1:($eCart1->DisplayInfo("Quantity")*2)); ?>

On the confirm page, there is the eCat UPS server behavior, this code goes in the weight section of the USPS server behavior.


This code sets the number of pounds being shipped based on the quantity. It looks at the quantity and sets the weight accordingly.
