Order surcharges?
 

I have set up a store and I'm using USPS for shipping, all of which is configured correctly and is returning exact shipping costs for USPS.

However, I need to add a surcharge for insurance based on total price of the order. I'm finding it somewhat incredible that there is no ability to add any sort of surcharge to an order, unless I'm missing it completely or there's some obscure way to do so. Has anyone done this?

thanks!

Hi me. Best to add your X-Cart version in your signature, or state it when you ask a question.

Hi there. X-Cart 5, I thought was assumed because of the X-Cart 5 forum, but I suppose it's best to always clarify.

It is indeed best to clarify, and I am still wondering what version you are running. 5.2.6? 5.28? 5.1?

The best thing to do is update your signature with your version.

With the new X-Cart 5 version you will be able to add shipping mark ups.
Also, there is a module that allows you to add payment method surcharges and discounts.
But I believe you need an unconditional surcharge depending on the order total, and this is something that you have to program as a custom module. Here is an tutorial on creating a similar module (for a discount, not for a surcharge): http://kb.x-cart.com/display/XDD/Creating+global+discount

Apologies. Using X-Cart Business 5.2.6

Re: Order surcharges?
 

Hi.
Shipping markups are available in the latest version 5.2.9 out of the box.
Please upgrade your cart to be able to use this feature.

I am attempting to upgrade, but I have not been able to do so. It hangs and does not complete.

At what step it hangs?
Are there any errors in X-Cart logs?
