Limiting Shipping Options Based on Cart Value

[jmedinger]

There seem to be lots of ways to manipulate the shipping for products throughout the software however (unless I'm missing something) I can't see to set a cart limit for when a particular shipping class is either activated / deactivated e.g.

Cart Value up to £50
Show Royal Mail & ParcelForce

Cart Value over £50
Show ParcelForce

Can this be done in as simple a way as this?

Sorry to <bump> this thread but surely someome's run into this before?

Yes.

Create the Royal Mail shipping table with entries up to £50. Tick the ' Don't allow excess' box.

Create the Parcelforce shipping table as desired.

Thanks Mike - the site uses 'Weight in Kg' as the Basis for the class so at this point we're not offered a 'cash limit' that would prevent the option from showing if an item was light enough to qualify *but* too expensive to allow that option...

Are my hands tied at this point?

Sellerdeck isn't great at mixing shipping by weight and value.

If it's just that some items are too valuable to send by Royal Mail then just fudge them by giving them a greater weight than they really are to force them onto the parcelforce category.

Okay, when the shipping tables are based on Weight and you want to only display certain shipping options based on the value, then the easiest method would be to use Java Script / JQuery to read the value of the cart during the shipping stage of the checkout and if its value reaches or exceeds the threshold you desire, then remove the lesser option from the shipping select options.
