Pre-Login Shipping Calculator

DogByteMan, what happens if someone with an odd zipcode wants to place an order? Does the pre-shipping calculator prevent countries without zipcodes from being able to order? or countries with odd zipcodes like Canada (letters) or Norway(only 4 digits)? I have user defined rates with no realtime set up. Just want to make sure before I implement it. Also, what is your website? I'd like to check out the calculator.

The Pre-Login calculator only runs if the customer chooses to run it, so no, it wouldn't prevent someone without a zipcode from purchasing.

Just implemented the pre-shipping calculator from step #206...works like a champ. Hopefully this will help with fewer abandoned carts.

Works great, this is a must for everyone.

Thanks, DogByteMan

If someone could figure out the calculation issue with real-time FedEx it would be perfect

I would be curious to know if real-time FedEx works in the standard checkout mode, since the code is the same for the mod...

This still baffles me

Works fine. I get the rates showing up in the checkout area, just not using the calculator.

I'm speaking regular checkout, completely outside of FastLane Checkout, since the code in cart_totals.tpl is used for the actual checkout routine there. If it works there it should work on the modded cart_subtotal.tpl. I feel very strongly this is a simple fix... I'm just not a coder.

Someone should fix this for Balinor.... He would do the same, when he can.

I don't use FastLane, so that isn't the issue either

Are you guys aware of the BCSE Free X-cart Shipping Estimator for Fastlane Checkout

Thank you Carrie for this free mod.
