AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

Hi guys, I need your help one more time. I hope it's the last time.

My store sells marble stones and we're talking about a lot of pounds. So I want to define a Vary by Weight shipping method.
The problem is, when I set up the rate of my shipping and leave the min and max empty the price is always the rate, which means, the same. I don't need to set up the mix and max because the rate is the same, independently of the weight.

For example: I need to tell the system that I charge $2 each pound. So, I need to multiply the total weight by my rate ($2).

If I have 10 pounds I need to do this: 10 pounds * $2, so $20 dollars. Got it?

I have some pictures to demonstrate my problem.
Thanks again.

On something like this, you might want to set the minimum of 1 pound and some maximum that the shipment would never reach. I don't know if your problem is a bug or if it was designed to require a min/max.

I tried that, but the shipping is not varying by weight like it was supposed to be. The price is always the same: the rate.

Any other idea?

Thanks!

I tested and got the same results, but I think it is supposed to be a total shipping cost per each weight break, not a per pound shipping cost.

It seems for this requirement you need to write your custom gateway. Please read followng topic from WIKI about custom shipping gatway
http://wiki.ablecommerce.com/index.php/ ... ng_Carrier

You can download source code of UPS and a blank shipping gateway from here
viewtopic.php?f=47&t=6651

All you need for your custom gateway to calculate price depending upon your weight requirements.

I was thinking about that. Anyone from Able? I really wanted to do that...

Thanks
