I have site selling photographic images. It's not quite fully developed yet (ha! ha!).
Anyways my query is this:
I want visitors to have the option of buying a picture as either a digital download, or as an inkjet print. (Initially it was all going to be distibuted via digital download). All the products are set up for distribution via DD.
I want some of the images to also be available as prints. So I have set up a product (using a component) to give the option of choosing a print or a download. One of the choices within the component is for DD, (with an associated product). This associated product has the DD file linked to it
The problem is with the shipping. DD have no shipping cost but I need to set up the prints with a shipping cost.
If I set up a shipping table how can i get the DDs to be zero and set a shipping price for the prints.
I tried ship by weight with a default of zero for the DDs. You cannot set zero as the default. You cannot set the associated (with the DD linked to it) product's weight to zero as this does not work. Actinic takes the shipping weight from the initial product and not from anything associated by a component.
I've thought about including the P&P in with the price of thr print, but what if someone from overeseas orders a print? postage will be a damn sight more than in the UK.
Any ideas? I'm going nuts trying to get my head round this.
