I’m trying to work out a way of charging customers correctly for a Saturday delivery… because our courier charges more for this.
I have a delivery date picker set up on the cart page.
I have a Saturday shipping rate created that is based on a high cart weight threshold. The idea being that if I can artificially log the cart as heavy - the Saturday rate will apply.
(The actual shipping weight and process is managed outside of Shopify)
I have some code that recognises a Saturday chosen on the cart page.
I’ve tried 3 approaches
-
If Saturday is chosen increase the {{ cart.total_weight }}
-
If Saturday is chosen add a Saturday delivery line item (through an AJAX post) that has no value but does have a weight.
-
If Saturday is chosen increase the first line item weight.
All coded on the main-cart-items.liquid file on a Dawn theme store.
I can’t get either approach to work and I’m beginning to wonder if Shopify does not allow this sort of work around? Shopify Plus is not an option (we are small) and I’ve got this far without signing up for an app that will do it so a bit reluctant to take that approach.
I can post the code for both approaches if anyone wants to see, but a - yes or no you cant do this would be as helpful.
Thanks
