I am writing this with regard to my previous post regarding PPP and not charging for shipping.
Firstly was glad to see the info posted by Bruce regarding PPP and hopefully demystifying it a little - I hope the front line support desk have now all read it.
If we are to use PPP and have to have the Paypal Express as per the PP agreement I cannot see how it works with Actinic.
I like many people have worked the shipping on weight and zones as we are mostly bound buy weight with our carriers.
This works brilliantly with Actinic E Commerce, but it now has a spanner in the works with the express checkout element of PPP.
I have just been scouring the settings on my PPP account and the shipping settings are based on money spent and not weight. Great if your only selling one item or a number of items with uniform price and weight. Not great for me however as something like a pushchair may weigh only 7kg, but cost £100, where as a couple of boxes of nappies may weigh 20kg but only cost £40.
I think it a case of chalk and cheese as my brain is straining for a way for this to work. Alas I think the much awaited and talked about PPP aint going to cut the mustard if this is the only way to make the express element of checkout work.
I would be interested to know if anyone else has come across this problem and also has a solution. I am going to contact my PP account manager tomorrow but from where im sitting at the moment it dont look good and PPP isnt going to factor into my website as first hoped.
Lloyd - Sorry to raise more PPP traffic on here!
