    ??Payments/Receipts/Shipping - integrating options

    This is a how do I question (with a little bit of, have I done it right so far thrown in):

    I've selected 4 payment methods - Nochex, Paypal, Print order form to send with payment, Print order form to submit with Affiliate order (via school order scheme).

    Standard delivery to Mainland UK is currently set at £3.99 (free over £50). So I've set the business settings|shipping & handling to "total value" and checked "free over". The free over £50 didn't work if I check "simple". That's ideally what I'd like to do - simple but free over value.

    Do I have to have shipping bands? I'd prefer all customers that don't fall into the mainland UK categories (£3.99 or free) to contact me for delivery options & prices.

    Sorry if this is all a little confused - more to come:

    For customers wishing to print out their orders and send postal payments or submit through school ordering scheme (i.e., minus p&p costs) - I'd rather the postage was not automatically on the order form. As VAT legally has to be added after P&P costs, if P&P is on the form, the customer can't simply cross it out and deduct it from the overall, they'd have to do a VAT sum on the whole order first. Hope I'm making sense.

    Is there another way of accounting for P&P costs at checkout (like an additional service) which I've missed - but only if the payment method chosen is the printing to send with affiliate order.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I guess you will have to use shipping Bands and have zones to allow for persons outside the UK and / or people beyond your shipping zone to place orders, else they will be presented with only one option for the UK and the option to deliver to an address other than the invoice address. If you do not have a band defined then people trying to order from the zone for which there is no band defined will be shown an error message that will ask them to contact you directly with their order, they will NOT be able to complete or place an order online.

    My thinking is that customers might not have the patience to contact you to settle shipping details and then complete the checkout. I am having a look around to see if I can find something for you. Will post back with an update.

    Kind regards,

      Thank's Bruce - I'll have another look at the bands again too.
