Set shipping price for each individual product id.

Opencart Version 3.0.3.6

Using CSV to import product to site.
Need to be able to set shipping price for each individual product id.

Example:

Product id 1
Shipping Cost = Free

Product id 2
Shipping Cost = 5

Product id 3
Shipping cost = 10

Thanks in advance for your time and a solution.

Can you use per item shipping for that
Extensions>shipping
Its built in

Thaks for responding....


I've enabled and tried that. I think that sets a global shipping cost per item.... but not individual shipping cost.

example:
Per item enabled.... cost set for $1

when you check out.... it charges $1 per item in cart

I need to be able to set individual shipping costs for each item as per my example.


Thanks for responding.

you might want to look at this
https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... n_id=28607
or
multi-flat-rate-shipping from marketplace
or maybe you could set something up using weight based shipping

Are there any fields in your CSV that splits the shipping price already? If so, from which shipping provider are you exporting and importing the CSV data?

@straightlight

No fields in anywhere in csv to set shipping cost.

Also there aren't any fields in the Catalog > Products > Edit Product

to set a shipping cost for the individual item. Only weight and package size parameters in the Catalog > Products > Edit Product >Data ......tab

That is basically the same as the per product already built in.... It sets a global price for per product in your cart. It does not allow you to set a custom shipping cost per individual product as per my example..

Thanks for your effort by the way

How many products and why?
Is this is going to be for 1000's of products this is going to be difficult but I am thinking this would be a custom extension anyway. Now why do you need to different shipping for each product? Isn't there some commonality between products? What determines the shipping cost of each product? Weight? Size? Pure whim?

Some of my product is drop shipped and the shipping cost varies.

See if this extension suit your needs: https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... on_id=6888 . If not, contact the extension developer as he does have multiple shipping options from his extensions he can provide. However, based on shipping costs, serviceability is normally what is required to charge customers whether its per item or for all items.

Thanks for the shoutout, straightlight.

Sbranch: I think you would need Category & Product-Based Shipping in order to set different rates for different products. That lets you do it within the extension admin panel itself, so you'd have to set it up in there. You can set up your rates for individual products or categories, then combine them all into a single cost presented to the customer.

If you prefer to set up the shipping costs in the actual product editing page, Ultimate Shipping can do that. It has all the features of Category & Product-Based Shipping, plus other advanced rule types. This would let you use any empty product field (like Location or ISBN) to set your own rates for each product. You can then use a charge with an "Other Product Data" rule to pull those values into the extension, and calculate the total shipping cost for all items in the cart.

Feel free to take a look at the screenshots and demo site, and if you're interested let me know at www.getclearthinking.com/contact if you have any further questions. I can give you an example of how to set things up depending on which extension you are looking at.
