texte = What's the difference between [shipTotal] and [shippingTotal]?They both seem to give me the same results.In the docs it says [shippingTotal] is a new tag in the latest version, but there's no reference information to tell me what [shippingTotal] is supposed to do differently from [shipTotal] -- or how it is actually calculated.Also, there are other relatively new ecommerce tags as well:[NonTaxableTotal] [TaxableShipping]Are there any docs to explain how these tags are calculated? They are not explained in the HTML docs or in the .pdf file as far as I can tell. All I can find is this:1- [subTotal] Adds all the totals for [quantity] * [price] for all the lineitems2- [taxableTotal] Total of the quantity * price for line items whose [taxable] value field is set to T3- [taxTotal] TaxableTotal * taxRate defined in the header.4- [shipTotal] Total of the unitShip cost * quantity for all line items plus the [baseShipCost].5- [grandTotal] Total cost for the order: includes tax and shipping. I would like to get a decent explanation of how *ALL* of webcat's ecommerce tags relate to each other. In other words, which ones are calculated from other values, and how are ALL of these values calculated?Grant sent me a 'schematic' of some of this stuff a long time ago, but I cannot find it now. It actually helped me a lot back then, and I think that's what I need again ...Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
