Accepting credit cards, warehouses, and shipping and fulfilling orders
Hello,
we're stuck with a shipping rate problem here and wanted to ask if there are some ideas/help here.
We offer selling products in our online shop. The have a shipping rate of 5€
We also offer services where clients can send us objects and we process them.
Clients can then choose to pay 1€ if we store the object for them, or 5€ if we send the object back to them.
Scenario:
Client buys just a selling good. -> shipping 5€
Client buys just a "process object" -> "shipping" either 1€ (storing) or 5€ (sending it back to the client after processing)
Problem is, if a buyer buys a selling good AND a "process object". The buyer should pay 5€ (for the selling good) and then should be able to choose between 1€ for storing the processed good or 5€ (for sending him the processed and the selling good back)
If I order selling good and process object at the moment only the selling good shipping costs apply and there is no option to pick the additional 1€.
I hope I explained my problem good enough? Hope to find help.
You can't provide addon-rates, fees, like that in the shopify checkout shipping step.
It needs to be a list of total rates where one is chosen.
You should try to predetermine the possible combinations of items and create rates to support that.
Or use a shipping app configured to present the total rates for the different combinations.
One trick may be to set the "process object" to be a heavy weight which triggers rates for 10€ or 11€ when other items are in the cart.
The alternative is to make the "process object" be the cost and have a variant with a handling-type option
#1 Store 1€
#2 Store and Return 5€
If use that way instead, make sure to update your messaging to avoid customer confusion.

Hey Paul,
thank you for your reply.
We thought about the option with the handling option too. Only problem is there: The fee is only applied per order and not per item. If the customer orders 5 process items, he/she would need to pay 5 times the fee.
Is there a good shipping fee app for this issue? We really need a solution for this. 😕
