Hi there,
I noticed this thread back in 2015 mentioning that CS Cart can charge for multiple packages only for selected shipping providers (fedex, dhl etc.).
Did anything change in this regard? Why wouldn't it be possible to setup with 'manual' shipping methods? The core algorithm should remain the same based on configured box size, specific product box size and 'items in a box' setting.
Thanks!
I am afraid, nothing has been changed since 2015
Good to know, thanks!
Manual shipping is normally based on weight. You could extend the shipping calculation when using a manual method to determine the weight for each package and charge the related amount for that weight class for each package.
It would be custom coding, not part of the base product.

Most likely cause of switching to mutliple packages would be dimensions, I think, which makes it a bit more tricky (to calculate at which point products will require 2 packages). It's a np-complete problem, so some heuristic would have to be used.
