I just wanted to show off a new module that I've written. Code attached.

Basically, I've discovered that one of the reasons sales aren't converting is people get frustrated they can't see shipping costs until they've signed up. Major burn rate. This solves some of that. This was completely inspired by the Shipping Estimator functionality in Magneto.

This estimator is an installable module with NO functionality or Class changes.

You can see the estimator in action at http://www.geocachestore.com.au
(NOTE: Store is live, not for testing! DO NOT PLACE ORDERS)

UPDATE: I've now attached the module to this post. This module is donationware. If you use this module, please make a donation HERE, then you are free to use it and modify it to your hearts content.

Installation Instructions
1) Backup everything (Files / DB) You should be used to this by now.. ;)
2) Unzip the file into the modules directory on your prestashop installation.
3) Click INSTALL next to the shipping estimator in the modules tab
4) Done!

Standard Disclaimer: This is a work in progress, there may be bugs, issues or it may not work at all on your installation. I take no responsibility for any loss of data, loss of income or loss of time. Backup and be smart.

My next project is the holy grail for Presta users, a Ajax powered one-page checkout, which, after doing this, I now think is possible without modifying any core classes. I'll post it on the forum when I lay down some code.

I have several carriers who are enabled to delivery the order to the customer's address, therefore several options of shipping costs. How your module works with this issue?

Everything you are working on seems great - thanks! Yes , it is much better if you can avoid altering the core files because right around the corner is v 1.3 , 1.4 1.5 etc! :-P

Great job Aaron!
I was looking for the same thing just this morning (as well as the one-page checkout).
Looking forward to hearing more, I don't mind donation-ware but ultimately it's your decision.

How about the weekend shipping? Can it be set to if shipping in the weekend will cost more? That will be prefect for a lot of U.S. companies. Thanks for doing this for us.

Sorry, may be this is a stupid question.

How do I set up shipping cost so that it will be recognized for the module? I installed this module and nothing happen in the front. I must be setting up my shipping cost wrong. I am using 1.2 and my site is not live yet.

Thanks a lot.
