Flat Rate Shipping Fallback
Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2010 2:34 pm
FedEx's system has been having a lot of outages lately and since that's our only shipping option, when they go down, we can't complete orders because the shipping options can't be selected.
What would be great is to have an option that when the FedEx system times out or otherwise fails, a flat rate option that I have preconfigured in the Admin interface would show up so our customers could complete their sale and move on. I wouldn't want this to show up if FedEx (or any other gateway) were working normal but as a backup if the gateway wasn't working.
Any suggestions for implementing this myself or else a great add for a future update.
