Carrier weight selection

[lostrisq]

All my products in the shop are without weight.

Now I want to add a couple of products with less shipment cost than regular products.

 

I cannot just create a cheaper carrier and asign it to those couple of products, because that cheaper carrier will also be visible to the regular products.

 

My solution:

set weight to regular carrier from 0-1000kg

set weight to cheaper carrier from 1500-10000 kg

 

this way I can set a weight of 1500 kg to those couple of products and only the cheaper carrier shows up.

this works perfect for the couple of products. But.... the cheaper carrier is still also displayed in the regular products.

 

Is this because a weight is not selected (all set to 0 kg)

Hi , I don't know if this will help 

Managing Carriers

You must have carriers added to your PrestaShop installation – that is, a clear indicator of who will deliver your products. It might be just yourself or your shop (for instance if you are selling downloadable products, or only work locally), but as soon as you are actually sending packages using stamps and a 3rd-party delivery such as your local postal service, or FedEx, UPS and such, then you must have their details added to your shop's database. This will enable your customers to better choose which carrier to use, based on their delivery ranges, fees and dates.

The "Carrier" page presents you with a list of all your current carriers. From there, you can directly change their status, indicate that why of shipping is free or not, and change their position when presented to customers.

By default, you have two carriers in your database:

• Your own shop: This represents your physical store, where customers can supposedly come and pick up their products themselves. It has no price range or weight range set.
• "My carrier": This is a sample carrier and should not be used in production. It has one price range (from $0 to $10,000) and one weight range (from 0 kg to 10,000 kg).

It is up to you to remove these default carriers and add new ones for your customers. At the very least, you should edit the "My carrier" carrier and replace its data with that of a real carrier: name, details, and ranges. We do recommend that you delete the "My carrier" carrier, and that you use an existing carrier module in order to register you shipping partner in PrestaShop.

New carriers are added by first clicking on the "Add new carrier" button. This opens a new page with two options:

• Use one of our recommended carrier modules. It is highly recommended to register carriers by installing a carrier module: this will make the process much faster, and the settings will be much more accurate.
• Add a new carrier. If you cannot find a module for your shipping partner, either in the native modules or on the PrestaShop Addons marketplace, then you should register your carrier yourself using the Carrier Wizard: click on "Add new carrier" to open this tool.

This is a new screen that was added in version 1.6.0.7 of PrestaShop. It helps you decide whether you can install a carrier module, or have to configure your own carrier using the Carrier Wizard.
