texte = Hi,I'm working on a commerce site which shipping cost calculation goes beyond my basic DNA knowledge. I would appreciate if anybody can give me a hand on this.The challenge is:1.- Every product in the DB has two fields to be considered on the final ShipCost calculation. The first one is weight and second is called volumetric weight.2.- Inside my invoice template I must add the weight of all the products in the order. That gives me one value. Lets call it Total Weight. Then I need to do the same for the volumetric weight. That gives me another value Total Volumetric. Then I need to compare both of them and use the higher one to continue with the calculation. Lets call it Master Weight- The next step is to use the Master Weight value to perform a series of calculations based on shipping address, which finally should bring a ShipCost to be added to the subtotal and get the long awaited GrandTotal ¿Can this be done using WC. Anybody has some experience dealing with this?. Thanks a lot. --------------------------------------------------- Cristián Tapia Limón Creativo Internet y Multimedios ctapia@lemon.cl http://www.lemon.cl ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
