Shipping costs

Rebel · October 30th, 2007, 05:31 AM

hey i am wondering what do i have to do to get shipping costs in my webshop

it would allready be great if the total order amount has a nullvalue of 6,20 and the products prices would just count up.

(i am really ashamed for all of my questions

) but i hope you can help me with this.

so if i could say that the product total has a null value of 6,20 it would be fine

(also becouse ideal has to send it trough)

Hi there,

There are a number of ways to do this. First of all, you could add a ShippingCosts product to your cart in the constructor of the shopping cart. So, whenever you create a new cart, the costs are already there. If you choose this solution, you also need to make sure you can't delete this item from the cart anymore.
Advantage: pretty easy to implement in the cart; disadvantage: odd UI tricks to avoid deleting the item.

As an alternative, you can create a ShippingCosts property on the cart, and have TotalCosts return both the total item count and the shipping costs, Then, right below the cart, display both the total cart value, the shipping costs and the total amount in a label.
The downside of this is that the cart os not really in control of the costs. This may not be that bad though....

Hope this gives you some ideas.....

            Then
            tempResult = tempResult.Add(6.20) As Decimal
        End Get
    End Property

#End Region

I wanted to do something like this?
But is this a way also?

(it doesnt matter if it has no security options it just has to add 6,20 to the total)

Do you know how i format this so that it wil work ?

Yeah, something like that would work, although you can just add the amount directly:

tempResult += 6.5

i'm really sorry that i am so annoying

i have the following code:
  ''' <summary>
  ''' Returns the total number of items in the cart.
  ''' </summary>
  ''' <remarks>Note that this property returns the total number of ordered items, not the number of unique products in the cart.</remarks>
  Public ReadOnly Property Count() As Integer
    Get
      Dim tempResult As Integer
      For Each myOrderedProduct As OrderedProduct In _items
        tempResult += myOrderedProduct.Quantity
      Next
            Return tempResult
            tempResult += 5
        End Get
  End Property

But when i now add a product of 1 euro it show me 1 euro everywhere

You return the value before you add 5 to it. Try swapping these two lines.

BTW, why do you add 5 to the *Count* of the cart? It shows the number of items in the cart; not the price.

Hmm that was the wrong one :P

Ive tried these 2 but both nothing:

  Public ReadOnly Property Total() As Decimal
    Get
      Dim tempResult As Decimal
      For Each myOrderedProduct As OrderedProduct In _items
                tempResult += myOrderedProduct.SubTotal
            Next
            tempResult += 5
            Return tempResult
        End Get
    End Property

            Return tempResult
            tempResult += 5
        End Get
    End Property

I was pretty sure this was the way to do it

Or did i make some dumb mistakes again

        End Get

The only problem I see with this is that if you have no items in the cart, your shipping costs still apply.

Other than that, I don't see anything wrong with this. Can you define "but both nothing"? Do you get an error?

No i dont get an error

but with the 2 codes
he still doesn't show any shipping costs just the costs of the products

Edit:
I found one thing
on the Thanking page he does show 10 euro instead of 5 so here are the shiping costs inserted.

But why not in the gridviews :S
