How to set up Flat Fee shipping/delivery?

We need to install a shipping module and we need to apply a weight to the products that we want to deliver by post.

There are a number of shipping modules that are included with osConcert for this tutorial we will focus on the Flat Fee module. This is because Tickets are usually sent by National Postal Service and for a small stamp fee.

Goto Admin>Products>Shipping and install the Flat Fee module

You'll see we must set a Shipping Zone and if we expect the Box Office Staff to also slect Shipping/Delivery we must also set the Box Office Zone.

Set the cost and the tax if applicable. That's it. SAVE the module and go to Admin>Products

Let's presume we have a product in a category General Admission Tickets already set then we simply goto tab>stock and enter a simple weight like 0.01 (we don't have to have a specific weight as osConcert does not calculate overall weight for Postal Tickets.)

Products_weight

We SAVE the product and goto Admin>Payment >Order Totals

We must uninstall ALL the existing modules and re-install them in the order that we want them to display at the checkout confirmation page.

 

Order Totals

That should be enough for a basic set up.

You may want to edit the associated language files to display your preferred text.

If the customer wants to change delivery address there is a button Change Address on the shipping page where the customer can create an address for their address book.
