Show Shipping Methods and Costs on Basket Page

Post by rkclark » Tue Nov 17, 2009 2:44 pm

Hi,
We use shipping charges based only on the total cost of the order. They are not calculated by destination or through the FedEx or UPS gateways. We always have ground shipping as an available choice. I would like to be able to show this amount by default in the Basket so the customer would see something like this:
Basket Summary
Subtotal: 99.99
Ground: 6.95 (changes when user chooses different method)
TOTAL: 106.94 (updates when user chooses different shipping method)


Next to this I want to display the drop down list with all the other available shipping methods and their costs. When the user changes the shipping method the total will update in the basket summary. I've been searching the forums and couldn't find a post that directly assisted with this.

I played around with the BasketShippingEstimate control but we don't require an address before shipping is calculated and I never could get it to work as I wanted to.

Many thanks in advance from a new AbleCommerce user.
