Single charge independent of quantity
 

Here's what I'm trying to do: have an option to add a rush shipping charge to an item that only applies to the first box shipped, thus would not change when the item quantity increases.
Example: 1 box costs $5.00; rush shipping for first box costs $8.00. Order one box @ $5.00 w/ rush shipping @ $8.00 = $13. Order two boxes @ $5.00 per box w/ rush shipping for the first box @ $8 = $18, (rush shipping charge does not increase).

I know I can use variants and do the math first, but that obviously would be the hardest way to do it, and very labor intensive to update.


A formula along the lines of: if rushing shipping = none, then 0, otherwise divide $8 by quantity selected.
I assume that a few lines of PHP applied somewhere could divide the $8.00 rush shipping charge by the item quantity, but I'm not sure of the exact syntax and where to put it.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!

Chris

We've done this in the past by creating a hidden product then adding code to the cart that a customer can add it if they like and this adds the hidden product to the cart.

Hi Cherie-

Thanks for your reply. I'm afraid you've lost me though. Can you give me another hint?

thanks!
