Contact Seller for Shipping?
Permalink
My client is selling many different product types in their store. One of which is furniture. They'd like to have the eCommerce add-on tell the customer to contact the seller to arrange pick-up or shipping for these large items.
I can't seem to figure out how to do this.
Help, please.
Many, many thanks,
Greg

eCommerce doesn't have any ability to split a cart into items that fall into different categories such as ship or collect.
However, given a complete cart, there are many ways for my Zone Based Shipping addon to detect that it contains items that can't be shipped and and to refuse to ship to those locations.
The most 'concrete5' way is to assign a zone_shipping_attribute with a value of 1 to the items that need collection (using the attribute as a flag), then any cart where the zone_shipping_attribute is >0 can be flagged for 'Contact us for shipping' or to return null, so ecommerce refuses to ship.
Guessing that these are all big items, you could do similar based on maximum weight or size. If a cart contains anything over a certain weight or size, then ... as above.

You can probably do a similar trick with some of the other general purpose shipping addons (ie, those not tied to a specific agent), but Zone Based Shipping is the best :)
