Add a handling charge for a manufacturer- Monday, July 8, 2013

If one of your suppliers (manufacturers) charges a handling fee for orders, you can pass that fee on to your customers.

Shipping.Fedex

[SurchargeForX]

Additionally, you can show the customer a description explaining that a fee has been added (it appears to customer under the shipping option name).  Just include a Description Expression on the Option line:

[SurchargeForX] = 0 ? "" : "A $" + [Surcharge].ToString() + " has been added because your cart contains a product from manufacturer X"

If you only want to charge the fee if the total amount of merchandise from that particular manufacturer is under $250, then we need to calculate the total $ amount of the items for that manufacturer, and then the expression for SurchargeForX would need to check if that total less than $250:

Modify the above - add line 30 for the total $ calculation and change line 50 to use the total:

[TotalForX] < 250 ? 10 : 0

 

 

Note, that the “the total amount of merchandise from that particular manufacturer” is the full price amount – i.e. does not include any discounts.

(Updated Aug. 2014.  If using nopCommerce versions prior to 3.00, then use ProductVariant.Product in plasce of just Product, and ProductVariant.Price in place of Product.Price)
