Installation
- Generic extension installation instructions can be found here
- Within 'Configuration->Shipping Methods' you should have a shipping method available called "Ship Separate"
- Enable the extension and update the serial key
- Move on to configuration
Shipping Settings Configuration
- Select whether or not to ship all items separately. Doing so will mean product specific settings are overwritten.
Note: This option will apply to every single item e.g. 4 * product A = 4 items shipped separately
- Set the maximum package weight to the threshold you will be using as the cut-off point for your default shipping weight.
- Split standard items according to max weight is as above. E.g. 300 lbs item splits into 2 * 150 if maximum weight = 150.
- Save config
Product Configuration
In
this section we are going to look at how to configure products for
shipping separately.
Firstly
identify the products you wish to ship separately, and which that are
oversized.
Select
the Shipping tab (if you dont see this it is probably because the
extension only defines the attributes in the Default attribute set.
You need to modify your other attribute sets to include the Shipping
tab and separate_shipping attribute) If you do not know how to set up your attributes then see here
Select
whether to ship separately or oversized (any oversized item
is automatically shipped separately)
Save
When
shipping rates are calculated you will now see that they have
increased as the shipping methods are being invoked for every
separate/oversized item + the rest of items in cart
A
good way of testing this module is to use flat rate shipping. You
can also use the enable/disable in shippping settings to see effect
it is having.
