Which shipping plugin? was created by Martin Beaumont
Hi there
I'm putting together a store that sells books. Due to their size & weight differences I'm using a fixed price of shipping per book.
So book A might cost $10 but Book B might be $15 within Australia. That's no problem as I can set that within the Product Item settings.
If I wish to sell internationally (US, UK & NZ) then I'll need to add additional shippings costs.
I've setup 4 Geo Zones (AU, US, UK & NZ) but now I'm struggling to understand which shipping plugin I should use?
Ideally I can set the shipping prices at the Item level.  It seems like this is possible within the Item > Data tab - Shipping Cost Geo Zones
I've added geo_zone_id_1:14|geo_zone_id_2:35|geo_zone_id_3:20|geo_zone_id_4:18
However I'm using Flat Shipping and by default I get a $10 shipping price?
Should I be using another shipping method?
Thanks,

Hello Martin,

Thank you for submitting the question here. In that case, you should use "Item Geozones Shipping" plugin to calculate shipping cost of item based on Geo Zone of Shipping Address.

You entered: "geo_zone_id_1:14|geo_zone_id_2:35|geo_zone_id_3:20|geo_zone_id_4:18" incorrectly. You must replace geo_zone_id by the real ID values of 4 Geo Zones (AU, US, UK & NZ).

Sincerely, Giang

Thanks Giang,

So by default I have one eshop_itemgeozones plugin and I notice that within the eshop_unzip_first_3.9.0.zip package I have selection of additional shipping plugins (duplicated-shipping-plugins) but I don't see more "itemgeozones" ones?

Do I need to duplicate the current plugin to allow me to configure each for AU, US, UK & NZ ?

thanks,

Hello Martin,

By default, this shipping plugin is used to calculate shipping cost of item for different Geo Zones. So you just need one Geo Zones shipping plugin.
