eCart S&H Returned Error

I recently used the Checkout Wizard to update my shopping cart checkout pages - I selected a different template. I have done this at least 2-3 times.

When the wizard inquired about how I ship, I selected the same process which I was using before.

When I went into the eCart object, I noticed, under the shipping tab, there were multiple shipping items which were the same, e.g., flat rate and price per item. My first thought that this must have occurred when I had run the checkout wizards in the past. -- See attached copy of eCart Object.

When I ran a test using my cart.php page, I noticed that the shipping charges were incorrect. The cart was adding too much shipping. I figured the eCart object needs to be updated to reflect only one (1) flat rate and one (1) price per item variable.

When I attempted to update the eCart object by deleting the additional variables, eCart gave me a error message. -- see attached error message.

How can I edit the eCart object so that it only reflects one (1) flat rate and one (1) price per item order variable?

you will either need to recreate the eCart object from scratch, or edit the eCart object file by hand to remove the extra shipping charges.


the checkout wizard is not intended to be run multiple times.

If you are going to re run the checkout wizard, you will need to delete the existing checkout pages, and edit the eCart object to remove any shipping or tax rules first.


if you need further assistance, send a copy of the eCart object file.

Hello, Jason.

I was unaware that the checkout wizard is not to be ran multiple times. Lesson learned.

For the sake of time, could you guide me through the removal of the extra shipping and handling charges code in my eCart object? I would prefer not to recreate eCart object, unless you feel that would be the easiest approach.

I have attached my object to this thread.
