How can I add additional shipping charges to a downloadable product?

[arnovandepas]

Hello,

I sell vouchers on my site (PS 1.7.2.2). Prestashop disables shipping costs by default for virtual products. But I need to charge a small fee for each download and have changed 'shipping charge' to 'service charge'. Does anybody know what I should change in Cart.php in PS 1.7.2.2 to make this charge show in cart?

Thank you

Does nobody know how to do this?

You cannot do this out of the box.  You will need to try to find a module, or have someone implement this customization to your store.

what would such a customization cost?

Hello. From what I understand you want to change the ' Shipping charge ' text with "Service charge" text in your website template, so your clients can see Service charge but on back end  everything is computed as shipping charge.

Am I right?

Hi. I already changed that, but do not know how to have these charges shown with downloadable products, because Prestashop does not charge shipping costs for virtual products. I've been reading and get the idea that some changes should be made to Cart.php, but these posts go back quite some years ago so Cart.php doesn't look the same any more

Do you know what to  do so that these fee gets charged for downloadable products?
