Hi,
We have cscart Multi-vendor.
We've encountered a problem.
We have set a shipping fee dependent on the customer's state (department) and we're using a single shipping method,When a customer is buying from 2 different vendors,the shipping charge doubles and each shipping appears in the checkout page and in the cart page.
we want to the shipping fee to stay the same no matter how many vendors the customer are buying from,we want to be related to the rate area.
can any one help us.
Thanks.
I am afraid, this is not possible out of the box. Additional code changes are required

Hi, I want to do it too. Try to override the $cart['shipping_cost'], but it doesn't work
function fn_vmk_shipping_calculate_cart_items(&$cart, $cart_products, $auth, $apply_cart_promotions)
{
$cart['calculate_shipping'] = false;
}
function fn_vmk_shipping_calculate_cart_content_before_shipping_calculation(
$cart,
$auth,
&$calculate_shipping,
$calculate_taxes,
$options_style,
$apply_cart_promotions,
$shipping_cache_tables,
$shipping_cache_key
)
{
$calculate_shipping = ‘S’;
}
function fn_vmk_shipping_calculate_cart_content_after_shipping_calculation(
&$cart,
$auth,
$calculate_shipping,
$calculate_taxes,
$options_style,
$apply_cart_promotions,
$lang_code,
$area,
$cart_products,
$product_groups
)
{
$cart[‘shipping_cost’] = 20;
}
I think it's not just overriding the shipping cost. Since customer buy from 2 vendors, the cart will be split to 2 orders. Any ideas?
Thanks very much.
You might be able to do a promotion where "when there are more than 1 item, all the rest have free shipping". But you'll have to experiment with this.
unless your company fulfill order (like amazon) , this would not work . Vendors are all separate entities , so they will each need to dispatch their order with a mail company. And even if the same mail company is used.
even with amazon , if you buy from different vendors not fullfilled by amazon as a customer you have to pay multiple shipping cost.
what you could do perhaps , since your work in the same region , is to give a call to the main mail company and pass a deal with them to have better price on shipping for your customers . or even pass a deal with 'store&pick up point'
its worth a try perhaps
